Arcade Rail shooter help
« on: September 15, 2011, 07:04:23 PM »
I am interested in trying to make a 3d arcade rail shooter such as my favourite, CarnEvil.


I know it will probably take a TON of work, I still would like to try it anyway. This project is supposed to be very similar (if not exactly the same) as this game, just with different enemies and backrounds.

If anyone knows of a program or anything that could help to do this, please let me know.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Well if you want to clone make a game similar to CarnEvil, you'll have to figure out what kind of coding it uses (Python, C++, etc.).
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

How do you do that? I know there are parts of roms for MAME though.

I'd try lurking on Google/Wikipedia.

Help, I wanna build something like the Eiffel Tower (but a bit bigger), but I can't even use a hammer. I know it's gonna be hard, but where do I start?

Why bother joking, when I said that I wanted help?

It's a parable. Here's another version of it:
