In the animated image above you can see the menu I have designed for the game. The window itself resizes if more items are added to the list of options. I have also worked a bit on a ‘global’ class which holds globally accessible information such as the player name and text-colours.
Letter for Mimi 2 – wip #2
A major design-flaw in my previous games was that the content was not separated from the game-engine. Even in my Flixel Adventure Game Tutorial you can see that apart from the map, all content is hard-coded. My plan for this new game is to put all content into an XML file that is embedded in …
