making a dragon

Posted by mazimadu on May 24, 2010, 8:37 p.m.

Hey guys, I need help. I am making a dragon for a game and am having trouble making it move. I need a good snake algorithm to work with this file. If anyone knows where I can get one please let me know.

The one I am using gets the id of the next object and makes the parts move to that point(actually, it moves to a circle 30 pixels from the center). This makes for some very jerky movements.

EDIT

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up fixing it using a tutorial that stores the coordinates of the head in a stack. The only down side is that the thing cant stop moving. If it does there will be some awkward moments.

I've been wanting to know how to do this for a long, long time…

The one TDOT made for me (previously mentioned) was great but didn't quite cut it. I'd really love to figure this out.
