ok say i have a 2d side scrolling type game, how would i go about creating the level? i mean the platforms etc for the player/enemies to walk on. this bit really confuses me, obviously iv got to draw them in etc, but im unsure of how to make it so the player actually interacts with it. ie. doesnt fall through the floor etc. any help would be appreciated, thanx

well if its 2d you need to make all your sprites, then test for their collisions. when the player is colliding with the floor then you would maintain his Y value to not let him travel downward, or thru the floor.

Use either sprites or planes to draw the different tiles of your game. Then you'll need to right some sort of collision for your character. Check to see if your character's position is within the boundaries of one of the map tiles.


ex.

cx = character's X position
cy = character's Y position

if cx > 0 and cx < 50 and cy > 0 and cy < 50 then HIT

If the above statement returns true, then the character is within the boundary of 0,0,50,50.

You could also look up info on parrallax scrolling, for drawing your map.

thanx for the response. do u reckon it might be a good idea to draw my map out on squared paper or something, and work out all the areas i dont want the player to be able to move through first?
