Hi all,
I’ve been trying to get into more game programming recently, and one of my friends asked me about creating a donkey kong game.
For the few in the world unfamiliar with Donkey Kong here:
http://www.donkeykongonline.com/donkey-kong-online-game.html
The object of the game is to climb up the ladders to rescue the princess from a giant ape rolling barrels down at you that you have to jump over.
Now, I would never be so stupid as to ask someone to build this for me or even worse have a fully made tutorial on donkey kong, the odds of either are astronomical, plus that would take a lot of the fun out of building.
What I’m curious is if anyone knows of a good tutorial on creating aspects of this game. Such as walking up diagonally to get to DK. Thats one of the things thats stumping me at the moment, that plus getting the barrels to fall at that same angle, but sometimes come down the ladders like they do in the old game.
Then there are odd things link the fire chasing up after you.
Again, I’m not asking anyone to do this for me or anything like that, I’m just looking for some pieces. I’ve read a few tutorials/articles on side scrollers, but they don’t really deal with diagonal movement.
Thank you in advance.
