Now, about the techincal part...

The game was made by using Flash CS5.5 and Flashdevelop.

After a month of design, it took me about 9 months to write 75.000+ lines of as3 for building the game (about 2.4MB of source code).

Seen that I have an eight-hour job, I had to write it in the evenings, in the weekends, during the holidays... and so on... it was really hard, but, in the end, I liked it.

The musics and the sound effects (and some additional ideas) were made by a friend of mine, nickname Composer, nick-nomen omen 🙂

The UI was made by me and some additional graphics by another friend of mine, Darkuncle.

And the translation in English was done by a third friend, Cug.

We spent also more than a month to test it and to balance it.

Finally I submitted it to the Apple Store and it was approved yesterday.

I have to say that I'm pleased by the AIR runtime but not because I was able to animate a lot of sprites and so on (the application is a strategic game and although there are some animations, these are mostly marginal).

I'm pleased because my appication does a lot of computations and it uses really a lot the SQLite engine.

For example, when the game starts, the user can choose to generate randomly the datas: this means about 100+ teams, 2000+ players and about 3000-4000 inserts and updates on the db!

And with AIR this is always plain sailing!

And obviously, I'm really pleased by the fact that with a few changes (really!) I was able to export the game for iPhone/iPad and for Android: when the so called internet agencies will really understand this, Flash will live a second youth!

Thank you Adobe!

The Android version is free, but only because I was able to put the adv banners thanks to the great Admob native extension made by Milkman Games that I really recommend (http://www.milkmangames.com/blog/2011/11/10/announcing-native-android-admob-support-for-adobe-air/)

The iPhone/iPad version is sold for 1.59€ with no advertise at all in it.

And to conclude, here they are some screenshots taken from the iPhone version (I resized it to fit here), however you can find many screenshots in the Facebook page

I know there are few soccer fans in the United States, but I have faith in the rest of the world 🙂

Thanks and Happy Easter!
