starting a driving game

-----------------------------------

i just started this game a couple hours ago. in my opinion, its okay but i had to make the map super crappy quality to make it faster, and its still pretty slow. if anyone has a more efficient way to do it, plz tell me.

i've yet to implement collision.

I like the looks of it. 
The only thing I noticed is it seems I'm always powersliding.
I think its due to the velocity decay value you set. I think that the car sliding 4 car lengths sideways is not very realistic, I don't know if thats your intent or not.

The game ran a bit slow on my 550 mHz, but otherwise it looked good.
A suggestion is, you can change decay values on different road surfaces, once you get everything else working :)

i wouldnt mind in the least if you used my track. if you want to make your own, try downloading a couple of [url=http://www.gsarchives.net/index2.php?category=backgrounds&system=gameboyadvance&game=pokemon_leaf_green_fire_red&type=backgrounds&level0=routes]these images and using parts of them(i just googled map sprites)


also, i had planned to make it decay slower if the car was going sideways but i haven't figured out how to yet, and haven't had any time to ponder it.

Good Start! I can see some promise!:wink: 

car := Pic.Rotate (car1, ang-90, piccx,piccy)
    Pic.Draw (car,round(carx),round(cary),picMerge)


You might want to pre-rotate all the images and store them in an array! It will make your game a bit faster! :D
