Ouch, 5 posts in a row, try the edit button in the future, and or just put all the samples in one zip to attach. (ok, spam handled, no need to make more posts on the issue of multiple posts, thanks)
That taken care of, interesting and simple to do, I see little point in having things animated, their movement and the ships should provide enough visual movement (explosions of course should be animated I can do that easy enough)
Stay tuned, Cheers!
Edit: the first sample looks like a red asteroid.. just grab the asteroids I already posted and rotate/resize in game as required.
Edit2: are the top and bottom borders fixed or do they scroll with the ship? (If they scroll I could do a panaramic surface with mountains to look something like the surface of a big asteroid.) the ship would then be evading debris like small meteors etc while skimming the surface. (it's just a thought)
Edit3: I'm almost finished a set of 'pipe' sprites for any kind of pipe mania type game, I'll do a backdrop too and will post them soon.
Edit4: I put the pipes on hold, I just had to make a wicked side-scroller Fighter,.. loosly based on the Viper from BSG.
Enjoy!
