Rainbow Serpent Puzzle Game

Well Actionscript 3.0 and the public alpha of Flash 9 is out and as a way of getting into the new features of Actionscript 3.0 I have been working on a little puzzle game for the past week or so.

It is based on the numbered-blocks puzzle game where you have one empty cell and you have to move the blocks around until you get all the blocks in order. Instead of using numbers on the face of the blocks I am using parts of an image. The images are randomly chosen from an album in my gallery, right now there are only a few images in there and they do not go with the “outback” look of the games interface so I will have to go through my photos and choose some more suitable images but for now they will be fine.

The game also has a Highest Score list which uses PHP and MySQL to store the scores in a database, thanks to Erwan for writing PHP script for accessing the database.

I am looking to add some background music and some sound effect to the game, if you have any pointers for suitable music then drop me a line.

OK here is the link for the game:
