how can i make a point to point map

ovechkin8

I would like to make a "travel map" for my game as sort of a timer. It would be exactly like in Oregon Trail at the bottom of the screen. I would like to have a mini icon that shows the distance traveled so that the player knows how much further he or she has before a certain event since my game is kinda like Oregon Trail.

Any help would be awesome.

(Oregon Trail that is referenced is for the iphone /ipod. If you havent played that one everything mentioned can be switched to the top of the screen map for the older games for pc)

Thanks

You will basically be making a mini map. Read up on this:

It should at least point you in the right direction.

i saw that before i posted... its kinda what i want but not really at the same time... if i did do it that way would i just make movement to a x axis since i only want it to move left to right?

Yea try doing it the way it describes, but only as the X. It may require tweaking, but is basically what you need.
