TRAINSPOTTER

Post by dr beep »

As said.... a thread about my new traingame.

I will call it TRAINSPOTTER.

I started today and the first thing I "invented" was a very small PLOT/UNPLOT routine.
In my mind I had an idea about trackchanging but later I had a better idea.

The first thing I started coding was a small track and how the train should move over the track.
I questioned myself how the train could follow the track. I got an idea and now at the moment
I have a train running over a circular track, both clockwise and anticlockwise.

I made a tooling in excel to create tracks.

The tooling is now extended with the option to mark the switches.
After that I only need to add the switch in a table to make it work.

Besides this game I am thinking of making some trackcreator and then make your own digital train similation runon the screen.

In 1K offcourse.
