Hey guys. I'm wanting to get started with Flixel (and FlashDevelop) so I can make some pixel-style games. I've been trying to follow the tutorial from the .Net Mag (issue 217+218) but none of it is really sticking.
Just wondering if any of you could help me out. Much thanks.
There's a lot of tutorials/documentation to get you started there. Download some sample projects and get your hands dirty with them. Between that and looking through docs, you should be fine.
You should also check out something called DAME if you're going for a platformer-type game. It's a really nice level editor that exports data for easy use with flixel. You have to construct your sprite sheet pretty carefully but once you get that done it's super easy and fast to get it up and running.
