    Creating a basic animated graphic

    I have never done any work with animated graphics, i would like to create a graphic for my newly developed webpage. What i want to create is a car driving by the name of my webpage. I dont need anything too advanced only somthing that will show me how to make the wheels look as if they were turning and make the car look like it is riding at a high speed.

    Please provide me with info on how to do this.

    A tutorial would be best, i dont know what language would be right for this project.

    Thanks to all that help.

    if you follow the link in my post saying something about my programs and games, you can find a simple animation program that uses bezier curves...you can change that to objects loaded as an image and animate that instead (combine it with the attached project)...

    heres a program showing how to load objects (you can create own objects using any paint programs.....they are just .bmp files) :

    Cyborg, i have downloaded and played your pong games, i have played the pong.zip file and it seems to get an error after like the 3rd level.
    Now my question where did you get the information to learn how to program this pong game, i would like to get into basic game programming like the pong game that you have but really dont know where to start. What tutorials, books, and other sources did you use in order to learn how to make that game. Please tell me cause i would like to start programming this sort of stuff.

    Thanks

    ok....hmmmm...
    i didnt read any tutorials....i just tried a couple of things and then i asked questions here in this forum.

    one thing thats good to learn is how to use bitblt...

    when i started working on the pong game i just made the paddle follow the mouse by getting info from the pictures MouseMove event...then i bitblt it from a hidden pic to the main pic.

    then i made a ball move and i made collition detection to see if it hits the wall or something else.


    download PongGame5.zip, it includes the source...
    2danimb9.zip is the animation program...
