My Entry – The Time Saver

Looking for a Console for your Flash game? I’m currently developing Consolator, a simple library which attachs a console to your project, ready to use and fully customizable.

You can use it to debug your variables, or change your game while playing. You can easily call the methods of the objects you bind.

Some features:

• Categories of messages, you can hide what you don’t want to see.
• Bind any class and you can automatically access its public methods.
• Visual auto-completion with a popup, just like an IDE would.
• Easy integration: just addChild(new Consolator());
• Fully customizable: change color, background, position, size, etc.
• Remember the last commands used so you don’t have to write them again.

Your ideas are welcome at consolator.uservoice.com

3/4 of the time limit has passed, but I think to be on time.
My game progresses gradually, here the current state of progress :

I just have to finish the code then i’ll can compose a music and enhance the graphics.

So, what’s new after another half-day ?

- I made all the graphic assets. Here are some icons :

- I’ve done a mock-up (This is not the  newest, I designed the latest version on paper) :

- And a few lines of code.

Here is the progress of my game : Game Console Story.
As this name implies, the game will talk about the evolution of the game consoles.
It is a “grow game” : you start with the Atari 2600 then you do grow this console using technological advances on it. The goal is to achieve the best console ever.

I made the organization chart, a bit of code and 2 little assets :

Damn. Why do I always do this? I’ve got bogged down in trying to get some procedural generation working and after a good 8 hours I have nothing to show for it

Well, here’s some debug text from my console at the moment:

It sounds a lot fancier than it really is
