Hi Everyone,
I am basically writing out of desperation. I am writing an arial based "driving" game similar to that of GTA & GTA2. After about twenty hours of spinning my wheels (no pun intended), I have come to the realization that I need help.
The way my game works, is it fills a var array (map(x,y) with a number in each cell. This number corresponds to a road piece. My goal was to have the computer read the map, and know what sprites (road pieces) to animate to the screen. This however has been ineffective. I can't seem to navigate my map graphically! I dont even know how to approach it! Any help would be hugely appreciated.
I have been using VB on and off for two years, and for animation I am using Nik Lever's SPRITEX OCX <- a great tool!
I am just hoping that someone out there has wrote a similar game, and can point me in the right direction.
NOTE: I did scroll back through the forums, and did find a post with some angle information, but I can't seem to find the "Craft" game everyone speaks of! Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!
