AGD Video Tutorial

It has been a long time since I did any video tutorials for Arcade Game Designer, so with a month off and a request from my AGD pages, I present two tutorials for you.

The first covers the LASER command and how to get your player to fire lasers. The second is how to use sprites for bullets.


These tutorials assume you have followed the others and so doe not go into details about sprite types and animation counts etc. It also uses the newer version of AGD (4.6) so remember that if you are following the code, as some of the commands were not available in earlier versions.

Hope you enjoy them.
