# DinoRunner-AS

A tiny/scuffed endless runner to learn the basics of ActionScript before Adobe Flash is completely put to rest.

I've never used ActionScript or Flash so I figured it'd be a shame if it died without ever learning a little about it.

I just spent a couple days screwing around with making a scuffed version of Chrome's dino runner game.

## Setting Up ActionScript Environment

* Download Apache Ant https://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html and add to PATH

* Install Apache Flex - https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/flex/installer/3.3.2/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-installer-3.3.2-bin.exe

* Add Apache Flex to PATH

* Change to install directory - ```cd D:\Development\apache-flex\bin```

* ```mkdir -p frameworks\libs\player\31.0\```

* Setup **playerglobal.swc**

  * Download from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

  * place in **frameworks\libs\player\31.0**

  * my version numbers didn't match up, but I just renamed files to match and it worked lol ...

* ```ant -f installer.xml -Dair.sdk.version=2.6```
