The Programmer RPG

Learn ActionScript 3 (Flash) while playing an RPG game! Have you ever wanted to learn how to code your own game, but felt intimidated by how much there is to learn? This game is for you! Programmer RPG teaches you programming basics and ActionScript3 (flash), the code that powers many flash games and applications. Assuming no prior knowledge, and combining a story line, over 350 step by step lessons, arena, and upgrades, you get the feel of an RPG while learning to code. What programming level will you reach? This is my first flash game, version 1.0, and is a game in progress. I am open to any suggestions you might have. This game is for you and I want you to feel like you have some buy-in! Also, I want to see if people like this game before I code any more. My website is www.gregorycarlson.com TERMS AND CONDITIONS While playing this game, you may earn virtual currency ($) and items.
