Re: How Do You Make A Racing Game?

There's not really any one way to go about creating a racing game, but you might like to look at the scripts behind ones that others have made, and see how you could adapt them to suit your needs  smile

Here are a few racing games to help you get started:

Re: How Do You Make A Racing Game?

I just want a simple 2D Aerial View Racing Game. I can do the scrolling and the level changing by myself. Thanks for offering to help, calebxy!

Re: How Do You Make A Racing Game?

I know you said you can handle this but here is a 4 screen-wide scrolling track I made for someone. The controls need to be redone btw.

Re: How Do You Make A Racing Game?

Thanks for noticing Lightnin  smile

And thanks to you HD123 for the effort and the messages. I never fixed those controls cause that project was for a friend who was going to do that himself. I was really just doing the scrolling part, and I made a new pic for the car. Your controls work great btw, the car just needs velocity.

Here is another race track (non-scrolling) with 'normal' controls...
here
If you see anything you like in ANY of my projects, feel free to use/modify/whatever, of course!

calebxy, I love how smoothly your car turns but now I gotta go back and fix mine  big_smile  great job!
