assalamualaikum and peace and good day to all forumer members.

- before you click and play my game. there's something i like to mention. -

+Project Brief+
this is an assignment at my university where i have to do a game refer to the local ( malaysia ) story. the goal is to promote the story to people especially kids. and for this game, my aim is to promote words of wisdom in malay ( kata pepatah ). so this game also giving information about the words in wisdom in bahasa melayu.

+WoW Factor+
this game is intended as a tool of edutainment (education+entertainment). the words are generated from XML file where teacher can change the content as they like. if let say an english language teacher wants to change the words of wisdom, they can simply edit the XML file. however.. for the voiceover, the teacher have to record by themselves.

+current issues+
since i'm using a lot of voiceover.. it does take a time to load.. the filesize is 2mb ++ so don't complaint about the time loading. we live in malaysia so we know the barebone speed so be realistic. 56k users maybe have to wait a bit. and my grammar a bit worse so any help of correcting garmmar would be appreciated a lot.

- end of introduction -

So people.. COME AND SHOOT ME.. give me your feedbacks so I can improve more.

Azimat Awang Miskin

So for now thanks in advance.

p/s -i wonder why my loading bar starts after 30%, if anyone know what's the problem please tell me.. thanks in advance.

Quite impressive..only that the longer words should have longer time

hehee..
Excellent good little cute mini game..

but i prefer some english word add on....

good word..

good... simple and cute.. attractive

muahahha...
manyak syiok la diz' game!

COMMENTS
- i think there should be a skip intro button.
- music needs work coz there's cracks.
- love the characters.
- cute voiceovers.
- in the story part, i dun think you need to put the logo down there to remind everyone what game they're playing because right below there is the logo already. if you want to create an identity, use a header image above the Flash.
- if you're going to teach in English, please correct grammatical errors.
- the words to spell out are small and should be made bigger. this probably could be solved if the game would be full screen in future.
- i noticed the quit to main menu is hidden in the Pause area. weird..
- i think a tutorial or guide will be good to tell kids what's what on the sidebar because some of them isn't obvious. for example: will all of them know the thing counting down is a timer?

BUGS
- when Awang claps when he's right, the paper is beneath the stone.
- if you've got the previous question right and left the answer blank, the animation is for wrong but the voiceover is for right. same happens when your answer is wrong and you left it blank.
- the sentences are case-sensitive and space-sensitive.

THINGS I WISH IT HAD
- explaination of what each pepatah means.
- more story flow to this. (after awhile kids will get bored with it especially contending with other games today)

well, yeah.. pretty much that's my comments, bugs i discovered and what i hope the game could be. however, overall i find it satisfying enough as a students work.

cheers.

haha.

the voice is hillaroious.

Not bad. If it's included with the meanings of the pepatah, even better coz I also dunno what it means. I like the illustration, very nice.

db07mufan -- haha i also cant stop from laughing when recording the voice from my friend

draglung - well yeah. my lecture also mention it. huhu

good, you deserved an A.

geee thanks

I'll take a look at your game throughly after work,

if i'm not mistaken, i've read about this problem last time on forum, check on your movie clip that has the sound inside your library, look into it's linkage, try uncheck on 'export on first frame' so it'll load the sound later and make the loading bar appear first. that even applies for big file sized picture that you put on the first frame of your flash movie, which sometimes makes you woner why your loading bar only appears even ater 70% loaded, its' because probably if your movie is 500kb, the loading bar's picture/effect already took up 400kb.

saw it at a glance, good work. will check it later

eheh, not bad..!! gud luck

dude!
i show diz game to my little sister in tadika..
hahah... she like da design!

siaukia - i already disable export in first frame but then the sound is not exported when the game played. huhu. the loading time decreased to 450seconds when i disable export in first frame and minimizing the graphics at the loading part. question.. can we export the sound after the frame or current scene? ( since i always put scene 1 for preloader) and scene 2 it will start everything.)

camedemac - thanks

thanks a lot giving cookies to you sister

creative, dude!
