DinoRunner-AS
A tiny/scuffed endless runner to learn the basics of ActionScript before Adobe Flash is completely put to rest.
I've never used ActionScript or Flash so I figured it'd be a shame if it died without ever learning a little about it.
I just spent a couple days screwing around with making a scuffed version of Chrome's dino runner game.
Setting Up ActionScript Environment
- Download Apache Ant https://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html and add to PATH
- Install Apache Flex - https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/flex/installer/3.3.2/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-installer-3.3.2-bin.exe
- Add Apache Flex to PATH
- Change to install directory -
cd D:Developmentapache-flexbin
mkdir -p frameworkslibsplayer31.0- Setup playerglobal.swc
- Download from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html
- place in frameworkslibsplayer31.0
- my version numbers didn't match up, but I just renamed files to match and it worked lol ...
ant -f installer.xml -Dair.sdk.version=2.6
