Contra Game Workshop

Contra Game Workshop is a software that allows you to create flash games without any programming skills. All you need is a few mouse clicks. Once your game is ready, you can save it to your hard disk as *.fga file, and edit it anytime you want. All the *.fga files are managed by a content.fgc file. Moreover, you can publish all the games in the content.fgc file as *.fgf files to share your games with others on the internet.

To get started, you can browse the six example files from the "File" > "Open" menu. This will help you get familiar with the panels, menus, and toolbars. Then, you can start a new project by selecting "File" > "New" menu and inputting the name of the game and yourself. From the "scene" panel, you can select your game background and adjust its color and alpha. Similarly, from the "library" panel, you can drag and drop the components into the scene, adjust its size, color, alpha, and other parameters. After adding everything, you can test the game with one or two players from the "!" toolbar or control menu. Once you are satisfied, save your game into your hard disk from the "File" > "Save" menu or toolbar.

To publish your flash game on the web, you can use the "File" > "Import-Edit Content..." menu to remain only the *.fga files you want to publish or import *.fga files from outside. Click on "File" > "Publish" Menu, and "Flash Game Workshop" will convert all the *.fga files into ex_?.fgf and content.fgc into ex_content.fgc for the use of "Flash Game Workshop Web Player". All the files will be in the same directory of the disk. You can then copy or upload all the *.fgf, ex_content.fgc, and "Flash Game Workshop Web Player" (FGWplayer.swf) into the same directory of a web server/email all of them with a zip file to your friend, and they will be able to appreciate your professional flash game works!
