Flash Maze
My project is based in flash. I am making a flash maze which has a lot of actionscript attached to the ball and to the maze. I plan to add two levels if there is enough time. One idea that I am particurally excited about is that I want to add a username and password box so only some people can get in my game. Overall, I am very exicited about the project and I can't wait to get the username up.
