What

The final project of my high school Spanish 4 course was very open-ended, so I made this game in May 2008, which originally only supported subjunctive tenses and had wacky collision detection. I revisited this project during the summer after college – upon learning that the teacher was still using the game to teach subjunctive conjugation – and added other tenses, better collisions, and a variety of other small fixes.

Tech

Flash + ActionScript 2.0

Notes

  • The version embedded above only includes verbs starting with A through haber, due to my aversion to spending more time than I already have working around flash file limitations.
  • Cringe at my use of Comic Sans! Bahahaha! …sorry. =P
