I'm making a top-view side-scrolling racing game in Flash AS3. I'm unsure about the best way to store levels in the game.Please provide suggestions for both tile-based and art-based backgrounds.

View 1 RepliesI was just wondering what the best data structure would be to use to represent data objects in a side scrolling game, basically the stuff the user can't see isn't on the stage so I would generally create a custom class to define its properties (x,y,weight,type, derp, etc) and then push that into an array and as the user moves forward I project the info from the array while checking if their x position is.
The problem that can occur is that the user can move left and right so whats the best way to keep track of the indexes?
My goal: To create a side-scrolling motocross game (horizontal - already have terms on side scrolling methodology).The bike - should react to jumps, etc.Wheels need to turn when gas is pressed, etc (is this a basic animation on keyboard events, or is it actually what 'drives' the machine??)The rider - should hang on to bike, lean forward, backward, etc.My question lies within where should be the best place to start? I know this isn't going to happen over night, and my primary focus is on the bike & suspension & rider physics (making sure the suspension/bike/rider react correctly to bumps).URL...
View 2 RepliesAs you may have seen from my previous posts, I am creating a side-scrolling action game in Flash/Actionscript 3.0. Right now I am trying to get enemy objects to face the player's direction. Here is what I mean (dartD1 is an instance of the enemy character object. If its scaleX is 1, it's facing right; if its scaleX is -1, it's facing left):

I am trying to figure out the collision physics for a top-down racing game in Flash / AS3. I am currently using the hitTestPoint method for detecting collisions, but I don't know how to apply a decent physics method to bounce a vehicle off of a wall that it hits.

View 1 RepliesHow can I modify 2d racing game to seem like isometry? Flash + ActionScript3
ScreeShot:: The game is totally in 2d. Car moves like it should and while it drives the ground everything is fine.I've added a grey ramp. Now the car should move like the arrows are showing, creating illusion of a 3d (isometry).
Ramp is divided in 3 sectors
-first,sector to the right (where the car is currently situated);
-second,sector to the left;
-third, sector on top;
Plus I need the car,to jump out from the ramp when the speed is high. I reffer to old scholl game Rock'n'Roll Racing (Blizzard's game for Sega)So the questions are
1) How should I change car's angle and velocities(velocityX and velocityY) when driving on the ramp ?
2) How can I initiate jumping out of the ramp? For example like in Rock'n'Roll racing? or how Blizzards essentially did it?
how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides.
View 9 Replieshey everyone. im currently making a side scrolling game and its going good. especialy thanx to sum people from here. anyway. i was trying to make it so that u could enter vehicles and then control the vehicles and shoot with them and then u could exit them. Im not asking you to write the code for me. but if u guys know of any examples/tuorials, or if u could giv me sum ideas on how i could do this.
View 1 RepliesI want to make a 3D Racing game, becuase i only see crappy overhead one's that are tooo simple to make. so I was wondering the best approach on how to do this. i was thinking of make the race track, as a animation then adding events so when arrow key is moved play event act but then how would the bike react at the same time?
View 15 RepliesI'm building a top-view racing game and I'm using the uch published code to calculate my x and y speed:
speedx = Math.sin(rotation1*(Math.PI/180))*speed*-1;
speedy = Math.cos(rotation1*(Math.PI/180))*speed;
My question is, how can I modify this code to give the car more of a rally-style movement whereas it will go sideways as I go around corners?
I am trying to make a racing game with an overhead view looking down. There will be a separate mc for the ground and another separate mc for the players car. How can I do this? O ya and just in case i am thinking the way I did: I tried to "rotate" the ground but when the car moves down the ground it moves away from the registration point, so therefore it rotates non relative to the car i want to make this game in as3.
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip that is scrolled by means of a 'sensor' on each side of the stage. The clip scrolls fine in both directions, however here is my problem:When the users mouse leaves the stage, the movie clip stops dead in it's tracks, and this does not provide a nice smooth effect. Looking at the code below, is there any way I could tell the animation to ease out when the users mouse leaves the stage rather than simply stop suddenly?
class Sensor extends MovieClip {
public function Sensor() {
}

create a side scroll game in flash..and i dont know whats the easiest and best to do it,, if i can i wish my game can access to a database to save and load it.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make a game where the character stays in the middle of the screen and the background scrolls as the arrow keys are pressed.
I've got it moving fine, but the background scrolls off the stage when you reach the edge. The background's bigger than the stage. I want to stop the background moving before this happens.
I'm trying to put a Tween in here so it's less 'rude' when I roll over the bottom bar (interface).See the swf here:(Press Start, then one of the windows)Script:
Code:
private function scrollMovement ( event:Event ):void

I used to play this cool game (till the blocked it in school ) where you click and a helicopter flys up, while its going through a tunnel. Decided to try recreating the fun but having problems when it comes to deleting the sections of the tunnel after they go off the screen. I'll show you what I mean.
Code:
scenewidth = 550
points = 20;

I want my site to do this.I have spent 3 days trying to find code that will let me do this.All I found was cheezy **** you had to pay for, or some guy who managed to do it on a 200x100 scale.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a gallery page for my site, and I need a side scrolling thumbnail display.
Basically it would have several thumbnails that would keep scrolling for ever (some how duplicating the content in a mask).
- The menu scrolls to the left when mouse is over the left side of the menu (there will be an arrow pointing left), and the menu reacts in the opposite fashion when the mouse is over the right side of the menu- The menu is constantly scrolling in the left direction when the mouse is not over the left or right arrow- The menu stops scrolling (or slows down) when the mouse scrolls over any of the items in the side-scrolling menu.

View 6 RepliesDoes flash have a wait command?i have this code here
Code:
targ._x = targ._x - 2.500000;
if (targ._x <= -350)
{
targ._x = 344;
} // end if
}
it scrolls targ from right to left and when targ gets to -350 it restarts by putting targ clip back at 344 (start point)my Q is does flash have a wait command? because i want to stop the side scrolling when the targ gets to -100 then wait a few seconds the nrestart scrolling.
