endless level

skippertech

Hi there, i am making an endless level type game, the template I have is just a really long scene, which seems like it would be hard for the game to run performance wise. Since the level would have to be extremly long i do not think this is very efficent. Is there a way I can get parts of the level to spawn as it goes? And have it get progressivly harder? Thanks

It depends on the kind of runner... but spawning is way harder on resources than just laying out the levels as a general rule. How are you setting it up?

At the momment it is just layed out, but it does not go very far. and when you hit the bottom layer it sends you back to x=0, but i would have to manually build the WHOLE scene, which would probably take forever to go as far as I need to go. Is there a way it can generate the level as the runner runs?

Best thing to do is move the platforms back to there starting position like i did in our runner template then you can have a small scene of 480x320 that looks like its endless.



Another trick is to reset the hero if you require a bigger stage like in the JetPack below.



Hope this helps.

The first option may work better for me, although I wanted the level to get progressivly harder as you advance through the game. and the highscore is constraining the x value, so wouldnt it just keep the highscore on a loop of 1-(how ever long the level is). Is there a workaround to this?
