About Me
Hey Dtoid. Welcome to perritoid!

I'm a 23 year old artist/teacher. While in University I experimented mostly with Animation, Video, and Games.

The lovely [dearly departed] Anthony Burch* featured the fruits of my experimentation here on Destructoid as part of the Indie Nation Series Which probably is one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me! One of many reasons why I love Destructoid.

*The [formerly] Resident Person Named Anthony Who Isn't Anthony Perri.

My first console was the SNES. It remains my favourite, and I've been playing games ever since without pause. Recently I've been a little burned out on the modern sensibilities of a suddenly overwhelmingly Western market. Most of the HD games don't appeal to me.

I currently live in Korea where I teach english and avoid Starcraft [and the north].

A Call for Help!

Hey Dtoid,

I hope some of you guys can help me. I know that most of us who frequent this site are deeply rooted in gaming culture, that said. I think its safe to say that we all fantasized about making a game of our own- That may be a pretty grand assumption but, to be frank, I'm hoping more than a few of you have some experience in the field. I need help.

I'm hoping to create few simple flash games for school next year and I was wondering if anybody could point me to some decent tutorials for Actionscript 3. There are plenty for 2, but I'm trying to learn the latest. I am not partial to any sort of game, anything would help and be appreciated!

I realize I haven't been around that long, but I've got to ask for help, kind of crucial here...

Of course I'll post anything decent that comes out of this, game wise.

Thanks!

Try the walkthroughs on Lynda.com, check out developer sites like kirupa.com, and BORROW CODE! I know many a good AS3 coder who get most of their skills and code habits just by taking a .fla file and messing around with it.

You can PM me anytime you want too, I have a basic understanding of AS3, but haven't had the chance to go in depth with it gaming wise. Good luck!
