tutorial for top down racing game...

[Thomas_Yde_Søgaard]

Hello...

I am quite new to actionscript, and want to make a simple top-down racing game, with a checkpoint (to register laps and time) and boundaries, so you can't drive off of the track...

I've searched on the internet for days now, but i can only find as2 tutorials...

I want the game to look somewhat like this (scroll a bit down the page):

Any suggestions to where i can find a as3 tutorial or to the actionsscript code...???

Best

that's too complex for a novice.

but if you want to find tutorials, use google:  flash as3 race racing game tutorial

okay...

what if i just want to make a game with a car that can drive around (accelerate, left, right, brake) and can't go outside the boundaries?

that's the complex part.  you'll end up needing a shape-based hittest or a work-around to determine when your car is on-track and when it's off-track.
