In part 9 of the series we added the ability to define a level structure using a series of timed function calls. This works well for placing enemies on the screen, but is not so useful for drawing the background level. In this article we will add the ability to ren...http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/12614.aspxFri, 06 Nov 2009 20:47:26 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:12614MatthewCaspersonIn this article we implement a system to define a level within the game. To this point our "level" has really just been one endless stream of randomly placed enemies. Obviously this is not ideal as it gives us as the developer no control over how the level plays out. 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. In part 7 we added the ability to play animations, which then gave us some nice explosions. At this point we almost have something resembling a game, except for one: sound. In this article we will add some sound and music to the game. Fortunately for us Flex makes embedding, playing and ...http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/11890.aspxFri, 06 Nov 2009 20:45:07 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:11890MatthewCaspersonIn part 6 we added collision detection. In part 7 we will add animations to allow us to include some nice explosions. In part 6 we introduced collision detection, which allowed us to destroy and crash into the enemies on the screen. But the enemies just disappeared, which was a little unsatasifying. In this article we will add animations, which in ...http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/11889.aspxFri, 06 Nov 2009 20:43:34 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:11889MatthewCaspersonIn part 5 we added some enemies and gave the player the ability to fire it weapons. In part 6 we will add collision detection to allow the player to actually shoot the enemies. Collision detection is the ability to detect when two objects have collided, and then react appropriately. In part 5 we gave the player the ability to fire weapons at the on...http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/11016.aspxFri, 06 Nov 2009 20:41:43 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:11016MatthewCaspersonIn part 4 of the series we added user input, and created a scrolling background to simulate flying over an ocean. In part 5 we will add some enemy fighters and player weapons. At this point in the series we have implemented enough underlying code to make adding new elements to the game quite easy. With GameObjectManager and GameObject classes handl...http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/11014.aspxThu, 05 Nov 2009 18:02:10 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:11014MatthewCaspersonIn part 3 we will add some graphics resources and display them on the screen. When writing a new program there is always a point where you first get to see the fruits of your labour. With the state and rendering “plumbing” now done we can start doing some fun stuff by adding graphics to our game and displaying them on the screen. But before we do l...http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/11012.aspxThu, 05 Nov 2009 17:58:48 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:11012MatthewCaspersonIn part one of the series we created the initial Flex application class. In part two we will be adding states and a double buffered rendering process. In part one of the series we created the initial Flex application class.

In part one we created the GameObjectManager class, which managed rendering to the canvas and allowed GameObject classes to update and draw themselves. Now lets take a look at the GameObject class.
