I've wanted to do another scrolling shooter for a while after all the new things I've learnt, and this one pretty much uses all the techniques I've picked up recently - Trigonometry, external actionscript, and a good solid coding method. The game feels a little lacking to me as I was reaching the limits of what flash could throw around, so it tended to slow down when I started to add to much on screen. The real credit must be given to those old arcade classics 1942, 1943 and Xevious for inspiring why I like these type of game. I one day hope to come close to capturing the magic that those games have.
