Still, PO:RN in Axe would be awesome.

Whoa, whoa, whoa ...

Ah, I see. Maybe change the acronym a little.

This sounds like a neat idea, but I'm not sure how feasible it is. =/

So, right now the engine is in the planning stages. Looking at Project Omega, I could see that the road was made of many different sprites, which did look very nice. Now, this is fine for xLib (actually it's probably the only way to do this in xLib), but I think that if a racing game were to be made in Axe it would not be the best method to use sprites for this (scenery is a totally different situation, though). Instead, I am considering drawing the road with lines, going down the screen row by row. Does anybody have any suggestions on other methods I could use?

Id recommend horizontal rectangles, as they are faster than lines and can fill more area.

that could work

If you want to save on speed you could draw 2 pixel high horizontal squares every 2 pixel too, but then it wouldn't look as good. One concern I have with rectangles, though: wouldn't it be hard to draw the lines on the road afterward?

I don't remember unfortunately. I wrote that xlIB program 3 years ago. It was one hard thing to do the hills
