[casual_games] Recommendations for a book on Flash games creation?

[Duncan Gough]

Hello,

Jobe Makar's book is has lots of very good examples of several  
different types of games (puzzle, isometric) as well as plenty of  
solid code excerpts for collision detection, real-time chat and  
socket servers.

The Flash Game Coders mailing list is generally quite quiet but there  
are plenty of very helpful people on there too:

Finally, the flash paper that has already been recommended is not  
just worth reading, it's worth printing off and reading away form  
your computer:

All the best,

Duncan

Personally, I'd get to grips with Flash first and then worry about  
Flash 8 later.
