I’ve made a few changes to Egg Roll over the past few days.  The changes are:

• Addition of high scores
• No limit on the number of lives (though obviously, the less you use the better – don’t want to be smashing too many eggs!)
• Timer – Just to add a little competitive edge – try to complete it in the fastest time possible, without losing many lives!

I would like to comment on a couple of tutorials and code samples which have really helped in my creation of Egg Roll:

• How to create a high scores table and the great timer code: http://www.blinkdagger.com/flash/creating-high-score-table-in-adobe-flash-cs3
• The APE physics engine – truly awesome http://www.cove.org/ape/index.htm

I hope you enjoy this version of Egg Roll – as always, I’d love to hear any comments or suggestions!

Reminder of controls – just the left and right cursors!

Enjoy…

I’ve just requested some Linux hosting from Interhost as it’s about time I started managing the hosting of this domain myself.

So at 2:10pm today (note – it’s a Sunday), I put in my request, and by 2:25pm it was already set up!

That’s 15 minutes on a Sunday afternoon to get my hosting package completely ready with a couple of additional databases.

I felt that deserved a quick blog post just to let people know how good this company seems to be.  It’s also nice that I got a quick confirmation email form a real human being too – nice touch that!

Here’s a link to their site…I would definitely recommend them based on this level of service so far!
