In part 9 of the series we added the ability to define a level structure using a series of timed function calls.

In order for us to provide a structured level design we need a way to de...http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/11891.aspxFri, 06 Nov 2009 20:46:09 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:11891MatthewCaspersonIn part 8 of this series we add some music and sound effects.
