TI Z80 / Project Idea- Outrun Z80
« on: September 21, 2010, 06:53:36 pm »
So, I've been playing a ton of Outrun lately. For those of you who have never heard of Outrun, here is a video of it
I do not think that I would be able to make such a game by myself, however. I do not know how to go about creating a racing game of this kind (by that I mean storing the tracks in memory and drawing them onto the screen). If this game is indeed possible, would anyone be willing to help?

. Basically, it is one of the best- if not the best- arcade racing games in existence, and I would like to port it over to 15 mhz calcs (I don't know how well I could do with 6 mhz). At the bottom of the post is a picture of Lotus Turbo Challenge for the ti-83+. It looks alright, but there are some things about it that I would want different in the game. For starters, I think that I would want to have a much larger car sprite that changes depending on which way you are steering. Along with that, I would like to implement hills and grayscale, four-level being ideal. Also, I would not like a stationary camera, but one that moves along with the car. Before I even get started, I would like to know would this be possible in Axe? I should probably also mention that it would not use anything like a Mode-7 type of engine.

. My next goal for the project is to allow you to travel to different rooms from doors, which would first require me to type out the level data (which has been very tedious).
