I found this great little copter game a while back and I’ve started to build one myself just for fun. My problem is that I think to create the floor and ceiling of the cavern that the copter “flies” through seems to be done with some sort of drawing API code. I think it is a block that moves randomly on the X axis and removes chunks from another clip to give the illusion of a floor and ceiling. Does anyone know how to do this?
Hmm… Looking at the game… I’m not quite sure what he is using to perchance that effect… I’ve created random terrain generators before though so it wouldn’t be too hard to grab a hold of something like that…
But from what I can tell it looks like he just duplicates movies clips in a certain manner to percieve of a floor or ceiling.

Yeah, I saved the swf file separately and I can see the box that is used to carve the cavern. It’s a trickly little effect and for the life of me I can’t figure out how it was done. I’m sure I can emulate something similar, it just might take me a while to figure it out.
On a side note, this thing had us going for a couple of days to see who could get the highest score!
