Hi,
i create a game 2D , example "micromachines" What are the best movements for a game drive?

i use for move front and back "accelleration" and for right and left "rotate" , I'm not sure that these are the best settings, do you recommend?

i have other question:
in this game i want my car with "smoke" effect!! now i insert a function " particles" but when the car turns, the smoke does not follow the rotation of the car...

how to solve?

thanksss

not sure about the smoke. But I would take codemonkey's shared project for the joystick and just put in your own levels and graphics. The joystick works great for 360 movement like you want with a top down car game. And it is much harder to start a project and the joystick (there are a ton of attributes and rules that don't work when copied and pasted) then it is to start with the joystick demo and add to that. good luck!

I have a saucer racing game under my profile that uses codemokey's joystick, but I used accelerate with the joystick.
