Amazing tutorial, this code is hard to wrap your brain around, using the block loop as a system for pathing, but not for tower placement, Thank you for this awesome tut, it’s inspired me to try hard

People stop complaning about the guy not telling you how to do it. This is not for beginners. This is just to understand how to make a TD game and how it works. If you dont understand a line, google it. Damn.

I am trying to make a Java game based on this and this will help me understand the mechanics of a TD game. Thank you.

To match your demonstration, I had to add a line to your code in EmptyBlock.as, at line 31 (if copypasting the script), in thisMouseOver funnction:
this.graphics.beginFill(0×006633);
Without it, the empty blocks with mouse over them won`t be highlighted.

Thanks for a great tutorial.

To blobo: make sure that your .fla file and both .as files are saved in the same place.

Also, in the thisMouseOver function in the EmptyBlock code above, “this.graphics.beginFill(0×006600);” is left out. It’s in the source code, though.
