Flying (through space & air)

[ZTC]

I was wondering how would be a good approach to make tiles for a few "flight" sections in one of my quests? I'm gonna try to do a mini-map of a space ship flying, and another map with Link on a flying air-ship (like the flying fotress from sonic 2). Comments, ideas?

for the space one you might want to make background tiles that look like stars moving horizontally to give it the look of motion. this doesn't require all that many combos. maybe 2 or three for some variation in the pattern but you'll want to animate them. if you sort of match up the ends then you can just place the combos next to eachother and have them repeat across the screen. you'll also need to use layers to make the ship look like it is in front of the background.

Thanks Espo :)
Now that space 'has been conquored', now I just need ideas for the air-fortress(which would probably be more complicated)
