Hi Can someone please tell me were i can get a simple (i mean simple top view move up/down/left/right) 2d game with source code in c++? I just want one example to learn from. Ive been searching but all i can find are 3d based. If any of you guys are willing to give me a simple one you have coded / lying around your h/drive i would very much appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Try looking at Nehe''s Zelda Games. They should be of help either that or have a look at the downloads page, the last time I checked their where one or time 2d games.

lol, any more simpler? preferably using GLUT? :D

thanks

I have one that might be of use to you. It's a little more complex then just move up down left right even though it is 2d. you control the speed with S and W. Then A and S rotate the image so it's a little space ship floating around. If you look on the message board it was this that was giving me the rotation problems that people so graciously helped me with. Email me at motocross95@hotmail.com with a subject of something like NeHe or NeHe message board so I can distinguish it from the wonderful spam I receive on a daily basis. Or you can message me on AOL instant messager, my AIM name is SeanTuble. It can be your christmas present This program is just a modification of lesson 19 I believe, but modified enough so it doesn't resemble it.

Oh you said "a game", well it's not one yet but a 2d image that moves around the screen that you could add to. I would say it's a good start to a 2d space shooter. Email me or message me if you're interested.

I think he meant that he wants to make a tile based game?

[edit] Guess not...

You said all you can find are 3d based ones. Well this is made in OpenGL using lesson 16 in the tutorials so it is "3d based" but all the viewer sees is 2d. Not sure if you sent the email or not but I just checked and didn''t see anything in there. If you did and are sure you didn''t mistype it I probably got it mixed up with the hundreds of spam email I get. So either retype it with a more distinctive subject heading or post your email address here.
