Hi, I''m planning to make my first game as a practice in my newly acquried C++ programming ''skills''. I''m out to make a 2D top-down vertical shooter, like Xevious, 1941, Raptor... So, as an 3D animator by profession, I was wondering how to approach the problem of Level editing/creation. I will render all ships as Sprites, but I''m concerned about Maps. Should I make them as one HUGE pic., or should I make them tiles? BTW, if it is not to complicated to implement, I''m planning to make ground interaction, aka Throwing bombs! BTW, where are those dudes that created old-skool Shooters? I mean, where are they hiding on the Net..All those dudes that worked on Genesis, SNES, NES games...where are they?
