I would like to build an 8-bit old Nintendo type of game using Flash5. I don't have any desire to learn coding.
Would I need Flash Catalyst (which I heard involves no coding?) or is the Professional version much better?
Which version of CS5 should I purchase and how/ where can you buy it outright without subscription.
I will need to accomplish the following:
animation
add bitmaps to level maps (need to also know the best way to sink bitmaps into an 8-bit style platform...maybe a file transfer program?
add mp3s
make a dice game
I'd also like to know which version of Flash CS5 to count on for my game (if applicable) for better save size & for performance as well?
Can you setup the game to perform with an old NES controller that plugs into the USB port?
Also, If coding is not needed to work in Flash catalyst, can it build a game?
If you were to add jump, run and which gamepad buttons - you need to at least modify code, right?
Finally, do you play back the game in Flash itself as an .swf file?
Thanks for your help!
