Most likely no one made a game like this...

To make it, here are some ideas:
-Make the plane automatically go downwards (decrease the y value) by an ever decreasing amount.
-When the mouse is pressed (b = 1) the y value begins to increase and the longer it is held the more the y value is increased.
-Make a custom map or randomize it and then check for collisions between the blocks, top, bottom, and the heli.
-The object (heli) can be anything you want. Download a pic or make one yourself in paint Razz !!!

Shouldn't be too hard... just the collisions and the actual making of the map. Good luck Smile !

hmm, im havign a problem with streaks when the plane moves (actually a spaceship in my game) and when the walls move forward they leave big streaks of color, i was gonna draw black boxes after they moved, but then i decided to put in a background, so that no longer works.

You're not clearing the screen. Hence when the ship/wall moves, the old picture is still there with the new picture over top of it. For a quick way, stick a "cls" after you draw all that you want to draw. Or you could put "
setscreen("offscreenonly")" at the top of the program, and then after you put the "cls', put View.Update. That will reduce flicker and will also stop you from having blurs.

Heres something to start you off, if you'd like.
you have to click to make it go etc...
realize that the chopper is not actually moving forwards or backwards, just up or down, the trail it leaves and the blocks that moves backwards makes it look like its moving.
After this you can just make the blocks appear

oh, I didn't clear the screen here either... but it works Razz

ahh, that game is awesome. i made a game like that once, but i lost it. paul's will get you going, but you should make sure that the helicopter uses real gravity (using the equation for gravity, ask someone in grade 11/12), because the real game is like that. also, to make it better you should add enemies and use a keyboard button to shoot, that would make it really good. good luck.

psst... Gravity makes an object accelerate by 9.8 m/s*s. In essence, the speed (in this case the falling speed) increases by 9.8 units in every second. [This assumes absolutely no air friction and anything else that could slow it down. Using this measurement, a bouncing ball would never stop bouncing- it would speed up, slow down, speed up etc...]
