any Flash animators want to team up for power of 3 on newgrounds?

Newgrounds is running a summer event where you get into groups of 3, an artist, a composer and a coder and you make a game together.

I'm a composer myself, and i'm also looking for a programmer. So if your a flash artist/animator and you'de like to be in a team, i'd like to know

[boundless]

I'd be interested in doing the art/animation for a game if there's a good programmer and a solid idea. I've been working a lot lately so I wouldn't want to spend my time making something half assed.

I really should work on an animation portfolio/reel.

Yeah that's the thing, theres plenty or artists and musicians... but as i have found there is a distinct lack of programmers. I've spend a few months making commercial loops for gamers to buy through a group of us on newgrounds and the site Admin suggested I find a team, but there is defiantly a lack of programmers.

I would offer, but i have only been learning actionscript for a few weeks and have a lot of things (exams) going on lately. I could probably only make a realy basic game, such as a card game or very simple platformer.

edit: If you would happily work with a very amature programmer who wont have much time untill the 15 of june, I could try. Baring in mind this would be the first game i would have ever really worked on. I might try and make a simple interactive flash to show the kind of level i am at 0_o. (But as i said, i have a lot of exams on at the moment). Also, if you enter it looks like your going to be up against chluaid himself, along with the weasel (Programmer of thing thing, all of them ) and a tba musician .

edit2: I have spent this afternnon making a particle effect (I remembered a competition from the old forums). It uses the angry faic image from ng (from the IM image download page), but the code will work with any image placed into the file with Particle set as its class

sounds like Adam team would be epic... haha (bitey with 2 shotguns killing in a madness style game... cool, XD)

anyway, i think i won't participate on the contest

btw, adzy-2k6, that flash, well, it show your skills in programing, but making a game is a real pain in the ass...
i'm not saying you can't... but if you are going to participate just think on this

- try to make the script simple
- name well your variables
- reuse and recycle code, i'm not sure if you know what it means, but you can say it's goes with the 'make it simple' concept
and don't leave it for last moment, because something alway happen in the last moment

so good luck guys

I know, i place most of my code in functions so that i can re-use it as and when i wish for whatever object is on screen (eg, movement and collisions would likely be in their own function). I think i am a little sloppy at keeping variables at a minimum, but i think storing things such as offsets worked out from other variables is better stored in its own variable than re-calculated every time. Im not sure how well i would do at programming a full game, but I think i know enough mathematical rules and functions to be able to translate them into code and do most things (I take physics annd maths so i sort have have to learn all these rules). When the particles go below or to the left/right of the clip, they are deleted, and if the number of particles goes over 50, they oldest one is removed As i said though, I am still a beginner

you know how to make functions... and make particles... you know enough for a game.. don't worry

Thanks guys. I would have teamed up with boundless but he's busy. But luckily I have found a programmer and an artist. We have a pretty kick ass idea
I envy whoever made it onto adams team

[Katatafisch]

what the hell? adam participates too? DAMN let the battle begin, good luck to you lockzor, i would have joined your team, but i already have one, this competition is going to be interesting
