Citrus Engine

This is the official engine we're going to use. It's a 2d actionscript 3 side-scrolling engine, and the educational version is free. It has a 2d physics library, which is aweeesommmeeee!

I highly recommend watching the videos, and reading the manual.

It includes a level editor as well, which is just click and drag. Makes everything super easy.

Explanation of folder breakdown:

src- source files, mostly the flash files and stuff that aren't needed to run the actual game

code- Citrus engine stuff. Don't really have to do anything with this. Contains API's, physics engine, etc

sprites- swf files for the hero, objects, etc

data - contains levels

backgrounds - swf files for background images
