Questions about vehicle movement

[iv-med]

Hi to all!
I'm planning to create simple racing game, but there have been some difficulties associated with the movement of the vehicle:
1)how to make a front-wheel drive vehicle using SFML?
2)how to make a smooth braking car when you press the "down"?

I have attached the source code in an attachment.
I would be grateful for any help!

It's your game, so you should be able to come up with the ideas and implementations not others.
If you have a specific question you can ask that, but no general "how do you do this".

Also I moved the post to the General Help forum, since the SFML Projects forum is for well SFML Projects and not help questions.

Does this help:

                if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down))
                {
                        if (movementVec == forwardVec)
                        {
                                currentSpeed -= deceleration * dt;
                                if (currentSpeed < 0.f)
                                        movementVec = reverseVec;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                currentSpeed += acceleration * dt;
                                if (currentSpeed > maxSpeed)
                                        currentSpeed = maxSpeed;
                        }
                }

 


EDIT: Fixed typo

Should that be a single = on line 7?

Should that be a single = on line 7?

In my code? Yes, certainly should be. Corrected, thank you

Hi!
You code is incorrect
When I press down my car moves forward

The idea is not that you copy the code 1:1 and complain if it doesn't immediately work as expected. It should rather serve as a source of inspiration... As eXpl0it3r said, as a programmer you have to be able to come up with your own solutions.

If you struggle with implementing vehicle movement, maybe you should start with something simpler until you have the necessary experience?

Yes, you right.
