Remember the old "2D" racing games in which you have "bird's eye" view of cars on tracks? The tracks usually fit on the screen and you control one of the cars using a controller with rotating knobs attached to an Atari game console in 1970s. Is it possible to create a 2D racing game using DBP? Are there tutorials on creating a 2D racing game using DBP?

No tutorials that I've seen, but it'd be quite easy to make if you use newxvalue and newzvalue along with sprite angle and rotate sprite to calculate new positions.

It's definitely possible, heck go to the WIP forum, check out A time to warp (which isn't just 2D... but the first level is)
Plus, yeah... it seems like it would be faitly easy to do. Just look at the codebase for some inspiration for the basic stuff, post for help if you have trouble with anything specific...

Tifu, Thanks for telling me about "A Time To Warp" game. I think I have the first version. I downloaded the latest version.

Think i'll do a quick little 2d racer for ya. most of the code i already have written for a 3d boat racer.


It's a start, not much really.
