Cool - I like these games, and was a big fan of Kickstart on the C64.

Are you gonna add in a 2D ragdoll rider?, that's always fun, seeing your rider elaborately break his neck.

Hi, I'm currently making a game similar to yours but using a Monster Truck instead of a bike, I was wondering if you were using SetJointMotorOn() to get the wheels to turn because when I use SetJointMotorOn() as well as rotating the wheels, it causes the Monster Truck to rotate in the opposite direction. I've got round this by using SetSpritePhysicsTorque() for the wheels but it doesn't let me set a maximum speed or a maximum force.

Hi, Andy93.

Im using the following

SetSpritePhysicsAngularVelocity( 1, speed# )

speed# in my game is increased at 0.28 and decreaded at -0.35 if your not accelerating. these settings are upto you of course it may not have the same feel for a monster truck, look forward to seeing yout game.

Thanks, I think I'll stick to using SetSpritePhysicsTorque() to accelerate the vehicle forwards and backwards and combine it with SetSpritePhysicsAngularVelocity() to put a maximum on the velocity. And I use SetSpritePhysicsAngularDamping() to reduce the velocity of the wheels when you're not accelerating.
