Spencer The Spinnin' Spider
A few posts down I mentioned I would upload my games coursework. We had to make a simple 2D game with Macromedia (Adobe) Director MX 2004 using Lingo programming code.
This was my first time using Director as well as writing out the Lingo code therefore don't expect anything professional. My friends said they enjoyed playing it and as my friend Dan stated:
"If you can beat your own game then it must be a very good game idea!!..."
Indeed I found myself playing the game when I should have finished fixing the bugs ^_^
I just tried publishing it as a Flash file but it looks buggy therefore I am uploading the .exe version which was published using Director. (Don't worry it's safe!)

Enjoy!
Feel free to comment and tell me what you think for my first try! Also you have my permission to use the code if you 'happen' to decompile it...Just learn, don't copy...yeah!!

This is brilliant mate!
You started with a simple yet teasingly addictive idea and saw it through to a very polished end product (unlike some..)
I forget my score during testing but I got 20 points today..i'll beat you eventually;-)
Congrats on a great game=)
Glad you enjoyed it Dan ;) You can't beat my score! (Unless you cheat :>)
22, I beat Dan! :p Although where, pray tell, is my credit for coming up with the name? ;-)
Anyway, a very fun game. I'm going to play again.
Hah I knew I forgot something :O
LOL, now I can play in peace. Ta for your comment...I'm feeling a lot less stressed now, you'll be glad to know. Sounds cool about the BBQ, first you give me a Lara Croft figurine and now you feed me? ;-)
The Wii is fun although we're mostly on Wii Sports and not the games we spent loads of money on...!
(you cut your hair?!)
I'll post here before we get to some Facebook back and forth shenanigans...
A barbecue would be cool and I don't mind coming 'all the way to your house'.
I'm still at UEL until this saturday so i'll actually be closer to you guys after that I reckon (i'm the only one in London I believe?)
I'll be around until July when I go home for my brother's wedding. I have a few other things happening before then but can probably work it around you guys or have the barbecue when I get back (after July 12th).
Cheers
