Need tips to create a game similar to Extreme Roadtrip or Hill Climb.

Hello.

I’m planning a car game with hills. Something like Extreme Road Trip, or Hill Climb.

But, I’m not sure about how to make the hills. One option would be to draw several sections on than on LevelHelper for example, to put them together, or even by code, auto add them during gameplay.

What do you think by playing these games? Are the hills procedural graphics or not? And what about the coins. Placing them manually would be a pain.

What your opinios about how were done these games?

thank you.

Cannot really help but i have basically the same question about the hills. I am also planning to do something but with a twist :slight_smile:

Are those hills designed like Tiny wings (procedural) or simply bunch of graphics with physics added  and then just scrolled from right to left?

thanks for asking the question! Hopefully someone will know the answer!

There was some ancient source code that “emulated” Tiny Wings in Corona - I forget the name of the project, but might give you a hint towards the right direction.

It was called… Tiny Penguin :D:

I already tested tiny penguin demo. It’s really amazing… Too complicated all that formulas… But the question is… If create the hills using that code, how to add the textures to the ground?

and another question. How to place the coins and powerups accompanying the hills?

I’m pretty sure i tried that code on device once upon a time and it performed pretty terribly. Maybe the newer phones these days can cope with it but i’d test it first before you put too much effort into remaking it.

Have you seen the MTE Sonic demo? Lots of hills in that one. Done with Tiled. Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but thought it might help. Best of luck!
