One thing though, if your making a worms clone (i love that game ) i would sugest not using sprites, there infernaly slow in DB and the game would look much nicer if you used plains (you can set transparancy just like sprites to)

Good luck!

Um, computers are getting so fast these days that it isn't going to make much of a difference if you use a few sprites for the couple of wormies.

I would personally go 2D on this project simply because it is easier to make the terrain deform in the shape of the explosions, etc.

The trouble would be getting the explosions to cut circles in the terrain dynamically in that cool worms style, then checking for collision with the terrain all the time.

to animate you make consecutive frames to the right of eachother and do somethign like this:

for i=0 to 5
get image i,(the start width of your guy)*i,(the start height of your guy),(the end width)*(i+1),(the end height)
next i

then later:

For i=0 to 5
sprite 0,0,i
next i

Ps: Worms would be an extremly hard game to code because it uses real phisics(sp?) not to mention the wind affects everything. However if you pull this off you could sell the game.

NEVER EVER USE FULL SCREEN SPRITES!!!! I tried doing that for a main menu and my fps droped to like 5-10 or so, i fixed it by using paste image imagenum command but i would still sugest using plains, if your just doing a little worm sprite it won't hurt. But full screen sprites will.
hope someone can benifit from this.

Cheers

for the 90degree slopes, try, if wormxposition = where you dont want it to go. set it back a few pixels or something like that

basicly, that one, you can go on the x=501 line.

oh wait, all the X's need to be Y's sorry, im top lazy to change it



but change the right/leftkey() =1 to the mouse x or something, and im tired, but i will tell you exactly how to do it (maybe) tomarrow after school
