Kongregate opens labs to teach you Flash

By walking you through creating a game of its own design, the site says it can take complete Flash newbies and have them making complete games of their own by the last of the eight tutorials (or "Shootorials" as the site calls them). Oh, and the best mod to its template game could win some cash. We're sure that pales in comparison to the gift of bringing joy into people's lives, but, hey, it doesn't hurt.

Sounds great! I've been wanting to learn flash for as long as I can remember. This kicks sass!

Yay, spreading the gift of game making. I wonder if I will be learning more about action script 3.0 then I did in my college course of it. Will have to give it a read and see if its complete baby steps or whether methodologies are used to teach instead.

This isn't really better than other tutorials I've seen....but I'll give it a go once it's all up since the outcome is fun to play :D .

Hmm, well that's kind of a let down. Still have to read, but hopefully it at least points new developers in a good direction when it comes to implementing assets/code.

nice. i'm all for tutorials.
though i've always wondered how many of the games on sites like kongregate were made with legal copies of Flash... considering its high price, i just can't imagine that many people have it lying around at home..

This will be a great starting point for people who have no experience in gaming but do have a basic level of flash.
Excellent.
