Lazer Letter

This was the final project for a class called Intermediate Multimedia Authoring. The project was to create an educational game using Adobe Flash in a group setting. The group decided on a typing game to help kids between the ages of 7 and 15, although the higher levels could be considered kind of challenging even for an older audience.

My roles in the project where project manager and lead programmer. As project manager I scheduled meetings, created mockups, and delegated roles and responsibilities to the other two in the group. As lead programmer I did all of the programming for the game, as a personal goal for the game I decided to use XML to import the letters and words for the levels so that they are not hard coded into the game, this also allowed the team to easily change the words used in the game.

Directions:
You are starting as a Space Cadet on the Space Station 'Fustron'. It is being over run by aliens. Your goal is to exterminate the aliens by typing in the letter or word that goes with each alien. Once you have it press the 'enter' or 'return'. If you get it right and in time then you will hit the alien. If not, then you will miss.
