Flash StuntZ To
celebrate my 10-year anniversary, some of my classic creations are being remade
as free online Flash games! And what better way to begin than with the
very concept that started it all almost 10 years ago to the day. Flash StuntZ
is a polished new
2D interpretation of the gameplay we saw in the Big BumpZ series, where
you play a wrestler sacrificing his body in order to perform stunts in the name
of entertainment. It boasts the most sophisticated flight physics yet - as
run-ups and jump power affect the moves you land and the points you score. And
with access to all 6 different kinds of jump, there are more moves than ever to
discover! Who'd have thought this much MDickie action would ever be
contained in a web browser? It's time to get addicted all over again...

Sure Shot
The original was hailed as a "gem" by
PC Utilities
magazine. Now Sure Shot is back and more accessible than ever as an
online Flash game! The retro concept is better suited to this format and
can now be played instantly to kill a few minutes wherever you happen to be.
It's more simplistic than its downloadable counterpart, so look that up if you
like the game and want to enjoy a wide variety of different enemies. There's
even a 3D version that challenges you to cope with a 3rd dimension! The controls
have also changed for this edition. Flash doesn't seem to be able to
distinguish between the two Shift keys, so the firing is now triggered by
Left and Right cursors. The upside is that it's now possible to
play with one hand! Up and Down are also used to tug at the bomb
on a rope (Space explodes it to kill multiple enemies)...

 Moksha
Enter into a meditative state and examine the
contents of your soul as they churn throughout numerous lifetimes! Simply swipe
left or right as the character traits circle your consciousness and strive to
turn the negatives into positives. Only when you've purified your soul can you
achieve the liberation known as "Moksha". But the closer you get to
enlightenment, the fast the wheel of life spins to throw you off! See how many
lifetimes it takes you to succeed...

The Path To Enlightenment
This is a Buddhist interpretation of the classic
Snake game that challenges you control a young Siddhartha Gautama as he
roams around the confines of his palace. As in the famous story, you must ensure
that he doesn't come into contact with the hazards of illness, old age, or
death. Instead you must guide him towards the meditating guru who will feed him
nuggets of wisdom that lead to enlightenment! These include the "4 Noble
Truths", "8-Fold Path", and "5 Precepts" - which is great for
becoming familiar with those teachings. Simply use the cursors to guide
Buddha's movements up, down, left, or right (you may need to click on the game's
window to ensure this input is acknowledged)...

Anthropic Principle
This
simple game challenges you to recreate the perfect circumstances for life! Click
your mouse button to strike the perfect balance between "Push", "Pull", and the
position of the sun to create planet Earth. Any other combination will create
one of the 8 other planets in our solar system, complete with a brief
explanation as to how they came to be. The game is designed to demonstrate the "Anthropic
Principle", which ponders whether our existence is perfectly logical or so
unlikely as to invite the involvement of God. The "Strong Anthropic Principle"
is when we click once a time - appreciating how difficult it would be to stumble
across perfection by chance. The "Weak Anthropic Principle" is when we click
repeatedly - acknowledging that there are many planets in the universe (and
possibly many universes too!) so at least one of them should hit the target. The
game is not entirely scientifically accurate, but it may still be used to become
familiar with the solar system.

Religious Guess Who
This is a
religious interpretation of the popular Guess Who? format, which
challenges the player to identify a third party from the clues given. In this
case, players must identify which of the 6 major faiths the individual in
question belongs to. Every 5 seconds a new clue will be given - ranging from red
herrings to dead giveaways - and the player must click on the correct answer as
soon as possible. It's great for sharpening up one's understanding of the
differences (and similarities) between each faith - especially the 3 Abrahamic
ones...

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? This is an interactive
version of the popular Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
quiz
designed for teaching purposes (as recommended in the Steer report!). It
is dedicated to the subject of Religious Education (up to GCSE level), featuring
categories dedicated to all 6 major faiths and relevant philosophy. The controls
should be self-explanatory. You simply use the mouse to click on any option you
want. Clicking on an answer once will highlight it (for suspense!) and clicking
it again will confirm the answer. If a question is
unsuitable, you can click on it to replace it with another. You can also click
on the "Lifelines" to make use of those. Although only "50/50" is relevant to
the gameplay. The other two are merely icons that you can toggle on and off to
record your use of them. It is suggested that "Phone A Friend" allows the
student to ask another member of the class, whereas "Ask The Audience" requires
that they make sense of the group shouting out in chorus!

Family Fortunes This is an interactive
version of the popular Family Fortunes
TV show designed for teaching purposes. It is dedicated to the subject of
Religious Education and features categories
relevant to all 6 major faiths. For
those unfamiliar with the format, it's a fun and effective way of imparting any
information that takes the form of a list! You simply ask the participants to
suggest answers for the given category and then reveal them if they are there by
clicking on the line. If the answer is not there, you can register an error by
clicking on up to 3 crosses. It is suggested that people play in teams, offering
an answer one by one or passing control to the opposing team if they cannot.
Whoever completes the board wins the round. Since there's no way for the game to
process spoken answers, the presentation requires that the teacher learns the
answers in advance. To assist in this, you will notice that the answers are
revealed in pale blue whenever you run the cursor over an option. Take care not
to let the audience see this when resorting to it...

Federation Online Not a
complete project so much as my first ever experiment in Flash way back in
2002! Suffice to say, it never amounted to anything because the programming was
alien to me back then. But at the time it was a nice little showcase for the
improved 2D visuals that were being developed...
