So, lowestX, lowestY2 need to become arrays. Please, for your own sanity give them better names (e.g. cloudX, cloudY.) This means, of course, that you will need a loop to draw all of your clouds, and a loop to check for collision. ----------------------------------- adigamov Fri Jan 04, 2008 1:13 am Re: Jetman Help 2 (gone far but stuck on problem now) plz help ----------------------------------- ok ima try that thanks but can u also tell me some of the problems you noticed it would be greatly appreciated thanks ----------------------------------- HucSao Mon Jan 07, 2008 5:30 pm RE:Jetman Help 2 (gone far but stuck on problem now) plz help ----------------------------------- Fix the flashing with View.Update. Don't try processes thought. They're generally not a good idea, unless you are using it for music. ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz Mon Jan 07, 2008 6:19 pm Re: Jetman Help 2 (gone far but stuck on problem now) plz help ----------------------------------- fork the proc i am not a fan of forking ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Mon Jan 07, 2008 6:25 pm Re: Jetman Help 2 (gone far but stuck on problem now) plz help ----------------------------------- i am stuck now on how to find a simple to way to make it that ALOT of clouds will appear The easiest way to do this is to allow only 5 to 7 clouds on the screen at once. To do this you will put all of the attributes of each cloud in an array. Once a cloud has reached the end of the screen it should reset to the beginning. This will create the illusion that there are infinite clouds.
