Our first game - MacAttack!
 
  This is the first step in making the game. At this stage all we have done is made a ball, which is a simple movie clip, and make it bounce around inside the rectangle. Really interesting!

  Now we've introduced a simple paddle, controlled by the mouse, and made sure that the ball will only bounce back if it hits the paddle. I think we'll call it Pong!

  A little bit more sophisticated. We have a reset button to restart the game, a few more fancy touches .... what we need now is ...

  All the bells and whistles. That's more like it. There's much more in this game, more skill, some enemies, some challenge. It's still a bit weak from the design and playability point of view, how could it be improved?
