is it possible to make this with corona?

i was wondering is it possible to make a side scroller map like the one from doodle jump in corona?

is it endless/self regenerating as you go along or just one big long image map?

because i think if its really on long image it would take alot of memory, so it has to be self regenerating/randomly being created as you go along, right?

for example
you have some code that makes it place random platforms
and the code that keeps track of your score/distance

so in order for it to get harder the amount of random platforms that are placed decreases as you increase the distance/score
unless im wrong and its just a bunch of big maps idk what do you guys think?

I think it is a series of background panels and lots of scenery items with the content being randomly placed but guided by an algorithm based on the distance you’ve travelled. Maybe there is a top but it won’t be the top of one long image. [import]uid: 8271 topic_id: 24058 reply_id: 97027[/import]

Absolutely totally possible in Corona :slight_smile:

Take a look at Tilt Monster sample code provided by Jonathan Beebe, it will give you a decent idea of several elements involved in this kind of game. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24058 reply_id: 97039[/import]
