The basic collision event in wich the moving object 1 collides with object 2, resulting the stop of object 1, is already familiar to me. Although, this doesn't suit a car game, right?
I want my car to slide on the wall, so the speed is the same, but it doesn't go through the wall. I think most of you have played car games, I think you know what I mean.

How can I do this in darkbasic?

Wait a sec, I understand now. OK, you would want to store the objects location in a variable, then, when the object hits the wall, make changes to the variable's location, keeping it barely to the side of the wall, so it appears as if the car is sliding against the wall.

Stora tomtefar,

Do you know any physics? If not, go to your local library and see if they have the book, "Understanding Physics", by Issac Asimov. Just a hinter. It helped me greatly, and quickly. He realy lays it out simply, and to the point.

Physics are fairly hard to implement in DarkBASIC though, aren't they, nano?

r333,

They are only hard if you do not understand them. It is all math. So, if math is hard to you, then it will be hard to implement physics into DarkBasic.

No, Math isn't too difficult, I'm in the top of my class, I've just never tried to implement them in darkBASIC. It seems like overkill when I don't need them for the games I'm making, but I see your point. I guess for some people, it would be more challenging. Thanks.

r333,

If they're not needed, don't use them. However, math is a buddy in complex situations.

You are absolutely 100% correct. Math has gotten ma out of no less than a dozen programming jams. Including the one 5 minutes ago.

Nice dialog you to have there

Anyway, you both get my point, but I don't get what you, Nanobrain, mean with Physics? Could you explain more how you mean? Like, the physics of a ball bouncing up and down and the equation for that? If that's what you mean, then I know some small things, the basics. I'll see if the library have that book

So, I guess you don't have any usefull code for me, then?
