Although this
website is largely my own work I have had a lot of 'help'
putting it together. The following is mostly a list of resources
that I have tapped into or things that I have just found interesting.
Programming
Flash
5 ActionScript
for Fun and Games by Gary Rosenzweig (QUE). This is a
great book to start learning about flash games programming
and comes with lots of source code - some of my activities
were adapted from games in this book.
Flash
5 Cartoons and Games
by Turner, Robertson and Bazley (Coriolis)
Flash
5 Studio by Bhangal, Dawes and Odendaal (Friends of Ed)
ActionScript,
The Definitive Guide by Colin Moock (O'Reilly)
And when these
couldn't provide the answers I have found the actionscript
forums at www.actionscript.org
an enormous help.
Website Design
The
Non-Designer's Web Book by Robin Williams and John Tollett
Website
Design Workshop by Robin Williams
The
Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams
Artwork
To speed up development I initally concentrated on learning
actionscript and borrowed required artwork from other sources;
mostly colouring pages on the internet which I traced using
my Wacom graphics tablet. As I do not wish to breach copyright,
I have since largely replaced everything with my own work
but there are some borrowed examples still remaining:
clipart in Spellathon
is from the microsoft
website
http://coloringbookfun.com/
Some of my christmas
images were traced from here.
Much of my own
'artwork' is based on pictures in the following books:
