    Flash Game – Clannad – Dango Daikazoku Adventure

    As a homework in our Flash class, we were asked to design and code a Flash game with two levels. I decided to base my theme on “Dango Daikazoku” from the visual novel (PC game) and anime Clannad.

In the settings page of the admin area we can only edit the prefix (default is INV) and the starting invoice ID (default is 001). When I change either of the two fields the invoice ID that is generated doesn’t change at all. After some research I found out that (more…)
