[Hackers: 1337 H4X0R]

Seriously Bad

The concept was overall boring and unoriginal, and the execution was terrible. There was really nothing to do, not unlike many other sims like this. You had no outside training, like reading books, etc.

The graphics were very poor. They were all either bitmap captures or bitmap traces. The fun was next to none. The soundtrack was a sub-par selection.

Things to improve on: make it more difficult, make there be a possibility to lose or get caught by the FBI or something. Make more screens, make more tasks, make more clickable icons, that sort.

Fun: 1/10 Bored out of my mind. it just dragged on.
Graphics: 2/10. Bitmap traces and bitmaps.
Gameplay: Boring, unorigainal, and overdone.
Music: Music was good, but selection was awful. The playlist lacked originality.
Actually like being a hacker: 1/10. Hackthissite [dot] org is not a site that necessarily supports hacking, rather expansion of ability. And it's not like someone can just click a button and steal credit cards and all that.
Achievements: Well done, you can achieve things. Wonderful. Too bad it doesn't say what the achievement is for, anywhere except for the tiny glimpse of a banner that you get when you actually unlock it. I'll have to take points away on that one.

Overall a bad game.

[Fixed AS3 Quiz]

A lot of this was horribly wrong information.

Not only was the presentation rather bad and choppy, but a lot of the questions were incorrect as well. First off, Action Script 3 was NOT introduced with Flash CS3. It was actually introduced in Flash 9 Alpha, a modification for Flash 8. Basically, Flash 9A was Flash 8, but with the ability to do AS3.

The "custom cursor" effect is not an AS3 only effect. Rather, it is compatible with even AS1, and it is actually not a custom cursor at all. It is a hidden cursor with a movie clip drag element attached.

Adobe never dropped any features in Flash CS3. Only certain functions of script placement were changed to allow better and more efficient use of AS3.

The end questions were completely stupid and unrelated to the quiz.

Looks like you need to work on your flash knowledge as well, mah boi.

The presentation was horrible. The color scheme was not pretty, and the graphics were poorly designed, the facts were barely even researched, the music was annoying..

This was simply an awful flash.
To make it better, you need to take into consideration using a more aesthetic design, an easier to read and more contrasting font, more vibrant colors, a decent background, more decent animation and all that.

I didn't get a perfect score because some of the questions has practically made-up answers.

It was okay, it lacked humor, but overall, a vaguely valiant effort. 1/5, 3/10.

Improve the effort spent on stuff like this. Do good research and expand the questions. Add animation, cut scenes, little graphics between questions, take out the white noise from the sound track, add a background (animated) which takes up the entirety of the stage, add contrast, and you, my friend, would have a rather decent flash.

Sadly, this isn't.
