Hi John, As I indicated before it all depends on exactly what type of game you are writing, and what exactly you want to do. If this is just a 2d side-scroller than you can get by with declaring a couple of variables to hold your coordinates. Basically, just an x variable to hold your horizontal movement and a y variable for your horizontal movement. However, if you are thinking of an FPS where you will have 360 degrees of movement then we will have to work on building at least a trig based system of movement which isn't complicated to do.
I guess before I can really answer your questions maybe you can give us an outline of the game you want to create in BGT. Once you give us a basic outline of what you plan to do we can give you the best advice possible. Cheers! On 7/28/13, john <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks.
