    Tank side scroll

    Iīm not writing a tank game where the player inputs the angle and velocity of the shot to hit the opponents tank. I have sorted out all the collision detections but I still have a problem side scrolling to track the ball and update the position of the tanks and the ground. The game map is currently 1850 pixels wide and the screen 800 pixels.

    Also I canīt find out how to input text into the screen for the player input.

    Can anyone please help as these are the last two obstacles I have to finish the game?

    If I can post zip files I will post the game on the forum as well.

    Thanks again

    Draw some things on paper, and use some algebra and trigonometry to work out the maths.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    That depends on your API, what are you writing it in?

    I'm looking for the simplest kind of textbox. Nothing fancy yet as I have only been programming for 4 months and windows for 1 month.

    I'm writing everything in Codeblocks
