how to create your own game using programming

Remember 0 in the BOARD array means the location is empty. The for loops through all the rows and as soon as board = 0 we know the chip has to be placed on that location. This function first checks which column you clicked (by using the calculate column function which I explained in the previous step). Add this function to the constructor of the Connect4 class: This function will draw the playboard of the game depending on how many columns and rows you want. One column has the same width as the width of one boardPiece (same principle for rowHeight). We put these values in our field variables.įinally we init the columnWidth and rowHeight variable. The constructor has two arguments, the number of columns and rows you want for your game. We define the field variables and we create the constructor. In this code block we import the classes (I also used the Tweener class which you can find here or in my source files). Public function Connect4(columns:uint,rows:uint):void Step 2: Create the Connect4 Class FileĬreate a new ActionScript file and save it with the name Connect4. A red chip movieclip, a yellow chip movieclip, a boardpiece movieclip and a winner dialog movieclip. Start from this file it contains all the movieclips needed to finish the tutorial.

In the source files I've included a connect4_start.fla file.
