I've been asking alot of questions on these forums lately because I'm working on a side-scrolling tutorial. I've seen a lot of posts regarding this so I figured I would just make one myself (my first actual project) and post my results here for anyone wanting to make one. I chose the old NES game Blaster Master because I personally love that old game. I'm about 80% on the first level complete. Player movement is included, although the jumping is flaky for some reason. I think it has to do with collision of Bounding Boxes and geometry. The tank model is complete, still haven't figured out how to get Jason to exit the tank and then pass control to him for player control. Here's the link to where u can download what I have so far and take a peak. I'm also writing up the Tut as I work and this will be included in the final game. Enjoy Oh for the record this is done in c-script using A6 Commercial. I know everyone is going to lite-c and i too will eventually but not right now.
