PHP programmer wanting to learn Flash game development
- by grokker
Hi! I'm currently a PHP programmer and one of my childhood dreams is to create a game. A game to show my friends or my children when the time comes :)
The problem is I don't know Flash. I'm not great at drawing stuff or even artistic. I could program a little with Javascript and I could consider myself intermediate with jQuery.
So my question is, how do I get started? What books do I read first? What's the steps that I should take on this journey?
Thank you SO friends. I hope you all could help me create something I could be proud of :)
P.S.
I'm just assuming that Flash is the easiest way to create and show to other people my game. Anyway I'm very open for other suggestions!
My game in mind is a side scroller about an indiana jones type of character and the setting is on the jungle with trees and snakes and a lot of animals!
