Lab 3: Keyboard Input and Event Handlers
(September 25th, 2006)

  1. In this lab, you will be combining a few of the concepts we've gone over to make a game, or at least the beginnings of one. The game should work as follows:
    • Have an object on the screen that you can move around with the keyboard. This will be the character in the game.
    • Have a number of other moving objects.
    • Use the hitTest() function to detect if your character hits the moving objects.
    • When your character hits the moving objects, do something. Be creative.
  2. When you are done, post both FLAs and SWFs to your website.
