Kurzbeschreibung
We've all sneaked the odd five minutes here or there playing the latest Flash game that someone sent round the office, but creating those games is trickier than it looks. The aim of Foundation Game Design with Flash is to take you, even if you've minimal multimedia or programming experience, through a series of step-by-step examples and detailed case studies to the point where you'll have the skills to independently design any conceivable 2D game using Flash and ActionScript. The book is a non-technical one-stop-shop for all the most important skills and techniques a beginner game designer needs to build games with Flash from scratch. Whether you're creating quick blasts of viral amusement, or more in-depth action or adventure titles, this book is for you. * Focused and friendly introduction to designing games with Flash and ActionScript *5 detailed case studies of Flash games * Essential techniques for building games, with each chapter gently building on the skills of preceding chapters What you'll learn * Learn how to build interactive movies and objects with Flash * Get a thorough grounding in ActionScript 3.0 and good programming practices, with minimal prior programming experience required * Discover how to build interactive storybooks, space-shooter, adventure and drag-and-Drop games. * Master collision detection, Enemy AI systems, player control, managing game data, basic physics and trigonometry. * Make use of design patterns and OOP techniques to build robust games. * Understand the strategies for making games fun to play and easy to build. Who this book is for This book is for a non-technical creative person who wants to learn the art of videogame design, but has no idea where to start or where to look for help. It is a lucid, friendly and step-by-step guide though all the technical and creative issues involved in game design with Flash and ActionScript. The book treats the art of programming as a creative artistic tool, and will help anyone who may be afraid of programming to love the subject as much as the author does. The techniques in the book are comprehensive enough to form the basis of career as a game designer, and form a solid foundation for continued study of programming and ActionScript. This book is the missing link that will guide and inspire any curious and creative person turn a good game idea into a reality. Table of Contents * Programming Foundations: How to Make a Video Game * Making Objects * Programming Objects * Controlling Movie Clip Objects * Decision Making * Controlling a Player Character * Bumping into Things * Object-Oriented Game Design * Platform Game: Physics and Data Management * Advanced Object and Character Control

Like said in the title: This book has NOTHING to do with game design. In fact it is just a basic tutorial for Flash. At the end you could do something that might look like a game (player, enemy, maze, health-bar), but not a single word about game design is spoken.
Even as a "tutorial" it is awful, with code like "if(player.hitTestObject(enemy){enemy.gotoAndPlay(2)}" and other stuff that is pain to read and should not be taught in a book. Even if this book only intends to give me the programming skills for making a game, it lacks of all important content. You just "hardcode" your running game into the timelines. Starting? Reset? Save? Retry? More levels? The "object oriented game manager" that shall handle this is introduced on two pages and does magic like "MovieClip(parent).checkCollisionWithPlayer(this)". Winning the game? That's easy -> "if((enemyOne == null && enemyTwo == null)) ... if(!doorTwo.isOpen)..." (page 381).
Preload your game? Explaining the all important font embedding in flash? Nope. I could go on...
Conclusion:
1) The book is a lie. It is not about "Game Design" at all.
2) Noone should program like this! The 500some pages of this book teach you structures that will give you headache on every project that is larger than a tic-tac-toe.

Dieses Buch beitet einen super Einstieg, sowohl in die Spieleprogrammierung, als auch in ActionSript 3.0. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das einfache Englisch, das in diesem Buch benutzt wird. Auch für Leute, die bereits Erfahrung mit Java oder C# haben, ist dieses Buch geeignet, da es bei ActionScript 3 gewisse Besonderheiten zu beachten sind, die der gewöhnliche Java oder C#-Entwickler nicht kennt.
Die Beispiele in diesem Buch sind nicht komplex, dafür aber erwarten dem Leser viele kleine Beispiele, die auf das wichtigste reduziert sind. Besonders das letzte Kapitel hat noch richtig viel Inhalt. Es werden so ziemlich alle Grundlagen abgedeckt, die man für komplexere Spiele braucht. Die Sinus und Cosinus-Rechnungen sind in diesem Buch leider nicht so sehr gelungen, da empfehle ich eher "Flash Game Programming for Dummies". Auch ist die Tastatur-Steuerung, die man in diesem Buch lernt, nicht sehr gut, aber dies kann man sehr einfach in Internet-Tutorials nachschlagen.
Im großen und ganzem ein sehr gutes Buch.
P.S. Die Dateien auf der Homepage lassen sich mit Flash CS3 nicht öffnen. Aber im friendsOfED-Forum sind Dateien für CS3 vorhanden.

I found this book absolutely life saving. Technical books are very rarely written in such an accessible language.
Just know that this book is for absolute BEGINNERS. That is to say - it is designed for people with NO previous experience with Action script whatsoever. And that is the best thing about it! There are just way too many books out there that claim to teach AC3.0 from 0 but require so much more. For this reason alone - this book a rare find.
It gives exactly that - very good understanding of how Action Script works and how to put things together in a workable game system, explaining every tiny step one by one.
Having said that, I warn you not expect advanced game stuff (i.e.profiling of gamers and massive multiplayer game technology) even at the end of the book. Look for this knowldege when you are done with this book.
This book will give you the confidence of being in control, knowing what is happening, and to never be frustrated with the complexity of the code ever again.
Must-have even for non-game users who want to learn Action Script.
