interactive game

[Jimmycookie]

Hey wassup guys, I've been asked by a friend to make a game for his website, only problem, not too sure how to do it in Flash. He has given me a brief: The idea of the game is to stop balls which come in from the left hand side of the stage (and travel across the screen from left to right) from getting past a paddle controlled by the user on the right hand side of the stage.

The game you produced should be based on the following behaviours:

·1 You will have a paddle on the right hand side of the stage which can be controlled by the user using the keyboard to move it up and down.
·2 Balls appear at a random position from the left hand side of the stage and travel across the stage.
·3 The user has 3 lives.
·4 A life is lost if the ball travels past the paddle to the right hand side of the stage.
·5 Only one ball is visible on the stage at one time.
·6 If the ball intersects the paddle or a life is lost a new ball appears from the left.
·7 Once all 3 lives are lost the game is over.
·8 The game should consist of multiple levels where the speed at which the ball is travelling increases each level.
·9 10 balls are fired each level.
·10 The size of the paddle should reduce in size each time a new ball appears.
·11 The paddle will return to its original size each level.

I was wondering if anyone could offer any help or link me to a website which will help?

thanks
