I want to make a game based off the one I made a while back, before I joined AG (the PC I made it with is in some PC grave yard, lol). Do I get Visual Basic and type out every little word and symbol, buy the highly expensive Flash Builder 4 from Adobe, or get a free, low-tech flash builder from some random website?

I guess it just depends on how much you can, and are willing to spend.

that is if i understood the question correctly

Well if you want to be able to submit it to AG, you'll have to go with either buying Flash, downloading FlashDevelop, or some other flash authoring tool.

OK, thanks guys. What about Visual Basic? A lot of people have made games by just typing out symbols and words, etc. Is that a good idea? Since Visual Basic is a free download.

Well if you're looking for something in general to create games, you could do it with VB I suppose, haven't really looked into it. You won't be able to submit them here though

There are compilers that take python,java ect.. and compiles swf files but I've never heard of anyone actually using them to any extent.

into a multiplayer game, lol.


You have to have a server, a server side integration of the game and experience.

umm I'm not sure of what are you asking for... But if you're new at coding flash games you should read a book (better) or a free online tutorial like the one at www.gamedev.michaeljameswilliams.com .

thanks a lot, guys, you helped me a lot :P, so much that i passed to another project , leaving the game for "more experienced" people like you .. don't worry , you don't have to reply and explain some codes to a very beginner , don't worry .
