I am trying to develop a side scrolling game. i wonder how will i make appear certain sprites at particular time or location? as the level progresses the enemy sprites should appear but in a predefined fashion like arcade games? just show me a right direction plzzz?
Placing Sprites in side scroll game?

To make them appear at a particular location you could design some kind of level editor, and define some tile to be an spawn place for some enemies...
at the simples level you could have a text file like this:
-------E--------- -------#--------- P-----##--##---E- #################There: "-" is nothing
"#" is a floor tile
"P" is the player starting position
"E" are enemies starting position.Hope this helps

MemberThanx i am getting a feeling of a right direction:-) Actually i am developing an arcade shooter where the player has jets to shoot at and the player him self is playing with a fight jet, now to give the player a "flying" feel i am scrolling the background to the left hence the player is actually static and remains in a single box of 480+320, now tell me how can i program the enemies to appear at a specific time? or perhaps following some enemies?
