Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: If you're into online gaming and have developed your ActionScript skills beyond the point where creating a realistic impression of a bouncing ball gives you a deep inner glow, then Flash Games Studio could be just what you need. This book takes you deep into the realm of Flash game design and provides the knowledge to take you further than the Pong, Space Invaders and Asteroids clones that are the staples of most online gaming sites. The introductory chapters cover aspects of Flash fundamental to games design--optimising games graphics, built-in objects, and event handling--and it's not until chapter five that you get started on producing a playable game. Instant gratification is not the name of the game. If you like to see results fast and would rather have a working version of Moon Lander than a working knowledge of structured real-time programming Gary Rosenzweig's Macromedia Flash 5 ActionScript for Fun and Games may suit you better. Otherwise, David Doull's Platform Game Construction Kit, Igor Choromanski's chapter on Artificial Intelligence and Glen Rhodes' four chapters on Flash 3-D programming will provide you with the skills to create your own games from scratch, rather than a formula prescription for what's already been done. Which is not to say that you won't find games such as Pong and Tic-Tac-Toe, just that they are included to illustrate an approach or develop a technique rather than as an end in themselves. There's no CD, but all of the ActionScript examples can be downloaded from their Web site. --Ken McMahon Average Rating:
 Rating: - stunningly informative and takes flash to new levelson every count this book did not fail to impress and dazzle. this takes flash to a new level and is certainly the most advanced flash book currently availble. even in terms of areas in which i thought i was fully conversant this book went into the level of depth i wasnt even aware of. the core subject which is games is very well covered and much more realistically than any of the other so called flash games books on the market, this is the real deal, with guides on how to create platform games 3d games logic games and even defnder style games, and to top it all off full code provided for all demo games which are often stunning. the advice on games design and 3d design is untouchable. i really could not give this book a higher reccomendation, if flash 5 can be pushed to a higher level i would be staggered. once again Sham has more than delivered.
