  1. Hello… i’m a newbie at game making and i love playing metro siberia… and i was wondering how large is the image you made for the “tunnel”/”map”… becuase i play it a lot and i could’t reach the end jeje :P … if you can help me so i can practice making a game kind of yours..

    Thnx!

    • The levels are made programatically and is not just a static image. The background is just a few 100 pixels wide and tiled. All moving obstacles are movieclips and the walls are drawn programatically. I have made a basic editor to build the levels. I might post an entry explaining this more in depth if people are curious.

  2. Ahh… i see… all the walls and elements, like squares are individual graphics and you insert them programatically?? so the level will never end?? are you planning to share the editor or how it works?? how u make the levels always seems the same?? i catch that the programation is not random and always the same to make the same level, but how you make it be infinite??
    Sorry about all the questions.. i’m a newbie and i thought making a game like this will help me…

    Thnx!
