How to Make a Rhythm Game in AS3 – Part 1
Part 1: Brainstorming
Ok, this may not seem to be the most exciting step, but it is pretty important. Because this game is going to take a while to make, brainstorming is key.
So, we have to figure out what movieclips we are going to have to make. What are the key symbols that we need for gameplay? If anything, it’s going to be the arrows.
So far on the MovieClip list:
- Left Arrow
- Up Arrow
- Right Arrow
- Down Arrow
Of course, the arrows are going to have to have a receptor that it hits when you have to press the certain key.
So far on the MovieClip List:
- Left Arrow
- Up Arrow
- Right Arrow
- Down Arrow
- Receptors
There are four final MovieClips that we are going to have to create, and all of them have to do with scoring. One of them is the health bar, the second is the combo counter, the third is the players score, and the fourth is the word that tells the user how accurately they hit the key (Perfect, Awesome, Good, OK, Bad).
The Final MovieClip List:
- Left Arrow
- Up Arrow
- Right Arrow
- Down Arrow
- Receptors
- Health Bar
- Combo Counter
- Score
- Accuracy Meter
Well, that’s all we’re going to do for brainstorming.
