Survival: Alien Invasions and Zombie Attacks

Flash! I could give an entire lecture on the strategic implications of Flash, pros and cons, when to use it, why to use it, bla bla bla. I've given that lecture many times. But I'd never really dived in to making my own Flash until I was forced to for my final project in this semester's Web Technology class. ("If you can't do, teach?" I never liked that idea.)

Behold, the fruits of my almost obsessive labor:

I put way more time into this than the project required because I wanted to learn how it all works. I drew the pictures myself (pencil, #2, sharp) on scrap paper, scanned them with my beautiful Epson 4180 Perfection, colored them in my LEGAL copy of Photoshop CS2, then imported them into Macromedia Flash. The sounds are all free, from flashkit.com.

Tom,

Pretty cool. I shot the poor zombie girl with a squirtgun, which I mistook for a real gun. She ate one of my arms and a few toes, but I'm just happy to be alive.
