Flash Games

So I have just recently decided that while I do like flash and using it to make animated movies and stuff of a similar practice, I do not like making games--even "simple" ones.  I am sure I can just equate the dislike to the fact that I need to practice it more but coding games is intense.  I honestly think I made my game for assignment nine way to complex.  I think I need to use something other than a random number generator to display the questions because it is kind of confusing when you answer the same question 3 or 4 times in a row.  I think for project two rather than making a game of hit test and timer and arrow keys, I want to make a question&answer game similar to the "anatomy of a letter" game.  I think it will be more realistic to accomplish in the time given, especially since making games is not my strong suit right now.  Also I think a question&answer game is more fitting to the topic since I am relating it to Derek's paper.  I think that this game will involve the players more because they would have had to read the paper first.  I know that this isolates some people but really it is more of a targeted audience situation; only people who are interested in learning about simulation and its use in the military would want to read the paper and play the game.  with this game I think it would be good to use "gotoAndStop/gotoAndPlay" functions.  But I can keep some of my original idea with the enter your name page and instructions page.
