Flash was originally intended primarily for creating animated videos for web sites. However, thanks to one of its built-in codes (action script), this programming language has become quite popular among game developers. Hand-made production of a Flash game can be a very difficult task, but thanks to the distribution of numerous Flash tutorials and instructions on the web, anyone can try to make such a game.

Instructions
Step 1
To make a Flash game, first decide what type of game you want to create. For inspiration, you can try visiting Flash game library sites such as Officegamespot (www.officegamespot.com) or Gametheflash (www.gametheflash.net)
Step 2
Once you've decided on a theme, work out a rough design for your Flash game. You don't need to get down to the details right away, otherwise you will have to recycle everything that was done earlier.
Step 3
Create the atmosphere of the game and the main characters. There is always a temptation to start creating funny things and funny details from the very beginning, however, it is better to leave this for later, after the basis of the game is created.
Step 4
Start coding your game using ActionScript. It will take a long time, get ready to work hard. After all, even for experienced computer scientists, programming in flash turns into hellish work, every now and then forcing them to turn to numerous manuals and guides. Try looking for tips on Flashgametuts (www.flashgametuts.com) or Asgamer (asgamer.com)
Step 5
After the code is ready, go through your own flash game to find possible faults and errors and take a critical look at your creation - it is important that the game has clear and logical parts: the beginning, development and ending.
