Some ideas of elements to include are:

• Collision Detection
• Keyboard interaction
• Mouse Following
• Puzzle logic
• Constrained dragging
• physics engine
• Server side code interaction
• XML or JSON driven content

Include a short explanation of what you are trying to achieve with your project, and what points of interest can be found in your code.

Assignment 2:

For assignment 2, Create a project that shows that you understand the basics of posting data to a server and retrieving it later. You can start with the DataSample.fla in the class10.zip download, or use it as a guideline. Implement some new functionality that alters the base code (ie, alters the type or amount of data being sent), or adds server interaction to another project. You can use the get and set pages at dev.zebraspot.com on the server side, or use your own server-side code.
