Josh,
At first I started to think why would anybody be offended by what you said. I couldn't find anything that might be offending to me or anybody else. Then I realized about the part about the joints how it might be offending to some people (aka people who are way overly sensitive;) ).Quote:
Sorry if you are offended by any of that.
That sounds like a pretty cool game, though.
Thanks for the ctrl key info.
About the scrolling I read somewhere that you would just create an array. In certain parts of the array you load different bitmaps. One reasoning for doing that is because "you can't create a bitmap the size of the world".
If the screen is at array[0] and the character moves completely to the right then you would display array[1] and if the character moves completely to the right you would display array[2] or if the character moved back to the left you would display array[0]. At least that seems like a logical way to do it. And of course the array[] would be the background.
Vicious,
I'm not going to do a game exactly like Asteroids because that wouldn't be original. I think I'm going to have it somewhat like Asteroids but with scrolling. So once you get done with a set of enemies then you would move up to go onto a next set of enemies. So since it's a little more complex than Asteroids I'm going to need controls that are a little more complex than Asteroids.:)
Then again this is all speculation, and I have no idea whether I can do a game like this or not.
Here is a good site for you guys to go to if you need free sound effects.
