I have a school project and I need to pick a game and change it. I'm having problems making a figure eight raceway instead of a straight line. Here's a game that I found here.
Can someone please help me make a code so that the dots go in a figure eight. Thanks for your help. Mod Edit: killing my eyes with the non-code-tagged text...fixed it now |

maybe you should ask Andrew Gunn or John Baker , seeing as it is their program and not yours |

When they say that, I'm assuming they want you to get a concept from a game and then make your own variation, or are is someone just retarded and want you to copy a game and change it's variable names? I don't believe I have met a teacher that allowed plagiarizing before...therefore, that rules out the teacher being retarded.... |

Well...either way. Making a game requires a bit of knowledge. Firstly, if and when posting code, please use the [code] tags. Will make life easier. Otherwise, read yourself up on such tutorials as: Collision detection (stops cars from going outside track) Input.KeyDown stuff Arrays (for all sorts of stuff) Records (for other stuff) |

Hey you should grab the understanding of how the game is done and do the game yourself, and the original game as a help file. |

So they told you to modify such a complex program? Are you sure dude they want you to do that? Why would they want you to modify a program like this? A little more explaination would get someone to help you and trust you maybe. |

Yah..srry for putting my topic named "Help Needed", didn't read everything for this forum. Yah I know it's kind of weird, I thought that myself but all my teacher wants us to do is to find a turing game somewhere, use that as a guide and modify it to make it look and play better (no offense to Andrew). And I'm having problems with making the dots go in a figure 8 track instead of going in a straight line so if anyone could help me do that, it would be greatly appreciated! |

eh... can't you pick some other path for which you could write a function? like a circle or oval... Would be easier to plot the path then something like figure 8 |

if all else fails, use whatdotcolor. That's basicly if you have nothing else you could possibly try. Then whatdotcolor it up. |

well, my teacher wants me to make it in a figure eight, but I guess a circle or oval would be a good start instead of it just going in a straight line. |

an 8 figured shape is not that bad. Providing you know the equation of a circle. Or even easier, if you know sine or cosine equations and how to graph them. Just either do 2 sine waves, or 4 half circles. Then that would be your figure 8. |
