starting a driving game

[Saad85]

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.

that is pretty good do u mind if i use ur track for my racing game?

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 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.

thanks alot i really needed a track and im to lazy to build my own right now

Good Start! I can see some promise!

code:

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!

k, i've decided to give up on this game. i just dont have the time lately, too busy. maybe i'll try again in a while but for now, if any1 wants anything (code/pictures) its yours.
