Documentation

June 13, 2007 · Filed Under game dev, software · 1 Comment 

I’ve finished pouring over the Flash Help documentation for ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0 and I now know just enough to be dangerous. I’ve started work on a design document for the third game idea, space tank. It seems like a good concept to get started with and learn the basics.

I want to do all of the documentation online so that I can easily work from multiple computers. Google Documents is the obvious choice for word processing and spreadsheets. So I just needed to find an online drawing application to handle user interface wireframes. Cumulate Draw is a nice online drawing application. However, it doesn’t store your files online. Saves occur locally in a variety of formats, but the application can only open files in it’s native format. Online storage would be a nice addition. Gliffy has a very similar feature set and it does offer online storage. The only drawback is the on-page plug for the premium service.

Here are the preliminary wireframes, click to see a larger version.
