Want to toy with a side scrolling game concept but the tutorial doesn't provide some details needed to set one up. Anyone have any templets kicking around?

Look in my website. There is a GRAVITY project. You can use it, to get started. If you need any help with it, you can contact me. Good luck.

@3run: your game have notting to do with a side scrolling game !

@dvstudio: welcome here in the forum. You already do the workshop, that is good. In the AUM Magazine (link is on this site at the left) you can find a lot of code snippets. In the AUM 85 is a Workshop about 2D side scrolling game.

Gravity is side scrolling game

I download and try it: it is NOT a side --> SCROLLING <-- game. In such a game the level scrolls from right to left (or up to down) if you moving the player.

EDIT: like the Mario jump and run from Nitendo..

That can be easily add to existing camera. That's why a told dvstudio to PM me. I'll teach him, how to get started with all that staff

You want teaching him? A person that don`t know what is a sidescroller game? See also some "code" from you. Poor dvstudio...

Haha, a new user who already know says that - see? not only the experienced users say this XD

Rei_Ayanami, don't call yourself experienced user!
Here is a sidescrolling example made by me (it took me like 10 minutes to make it!). It is basic sidescroller game!
There is also my coin model, dvision you can use it in any purpose (only dvision is allowed to use it)!

Hm, firstly, Rei IS an experienced user, but that isnt on topic, so, secondly, a 2d sidecrolling game uses no 3d elements but panels or other 2d elements - that's why it's called 2D. Thirdly, most 2d sidescrolling games I know aren't jump'n'runs like your gravity sample is, but auto-scrolling space shooters or something comparable. Am not too sure if this is the basic definition of a 2d sidescroller, so please correct me if Im wrong.
