I just had an glorious idea for a game. I wanna (try) to make an Zelda Clone and when I can do it will make it online. Before I''m gonna rush myself into things I like writing a server and shit I need some help. Are there any tutorials online on how to make an Zelda clone? I need some help with showing the world, displaying buildings and stuff. For example, I want to have a mill in it but the 4 windcatching thingies need to move. How would I do that? So, if anyone can point me to some information about how to do such stuff I will be gratefull. Sand Hawk ---------------- -Earth is 98% full. Please delete anybody you can.

I''m gonna use DirectX and C++. What sort of Engine would use a Zelda clone? A tilebased or so?

Yes it''s tilebased. If you''re not sure what that is, check out the articles section here on gamedev, there''s plenty of info.

2D now!

You''ve got to learn to walk before you can run...

I''m trying to say: I first research some stuff, test out several parts and then start working on a game. Is there an online tutorial(Or one that I can download) for Tilebased gamedevelopment?

Thnx

When I was lookinf through the articles, I came across a set called "Game programming genesis", I think that said it would cover from win32 up to creating a tilebased RPG engine -- Just what you need ^^.
