The Spawn Engine

an educational open source Flash game engine

Release of The Spawn Engine version 0.1.2

Version 0.1.2 (for CS5) includes the following changes:

* All “constant numbers” moved to private static constants. The used (and preferred) style for this is all caps, for example: private static THIS_IS_A_CONSTANT:uint = 5;

* The private function showText() is now updateText() to better reflect what it does.

* Fixed a spelling error in the name of the private function checkBulletEnemyCollisions().

* All variable names are now in english. The few ones in swedish have been removed.

* All comments in swedish have been removed. English comments in some future version.

  1. Download the Spawn Engine v 0.1.2 and get started.
  2. If you have any trouble please comment.

Release of the Spawn Engine version 0.1.1

This is just a small update of version 0.1 to make the engine work for CS5 where fonts needs be embedded. I also did some clean up among comments and there where a few curly brackets in the 0.1 version that where in the wrong places that now have been fixed.

  1. Download the Spawn Engine v 0.1.1 and get started.
  2. If you have any trouble please comment.

I apologize for all the comments in swedish in the code. Remember that this is a project where we work with this engine as a text-book for a swedish programming course. That is also why this version is fully playable yet has a lot of room for improvement. Maybe you can find some things that you don’t like with the engine? Good! Start coding and feel free to post descriptions of what you don’t like with the engine that you have fixed.

Release of the Spawn Engine version 0.1

This is it! Finally had time to fix a Sourceforge account, add the engine as a project, upload the file so I can release the Spawn Engine version 0.1.

Download the Spawn Engine v 0.1 and get started. If you have any trouble please comment.

I apologize for all the comments in swedish in the code. Remember that this is a project where we work with this engine as a text-book for a swedish programming course. That is also why this version is fully playable yet has a lot of room for improvement. That is what my students are working with at the moment; building add-ons and tutorials that will appear in the blog in the future.

Tune in later on for version 0.2 with lots of small updates. If you wish to help out with this project or use it as a teacher please contact me by commenting.
