How do I create a game like Atari's Decathlon?

Hey folks,

How do I create a game like Atari's Decathlon?

The player must press some control, eg. left arrow, after must press right arrow to make a player to run?

There are several games in that one game, which one are you trying to do?

I loved Decathlon, Summer Games, ...

All games are basically the same, only some changes in the animation (long jump, hurdle, ...).

I would start with the running system and a varSpeed variable.

• Keys: after left only right increases varSpeed (after right the left must be pressed)
• every 0.x seconds varSpeed decreases (player gets slower)

That's basically the whole system - of course there must be a build up in speed ( you can't just go to 100% speed at once)

depending on the varSpeed you make the animation of the player slower or faster.

Greetings,

those tips are great fm4fanAT, I already had created a game to test using similar mechanics.

I'll try to fix the game, as you told me.

Best regards,

love your graphics - especially the one for your new game

I think it's a great idea to use the greek style
