I see you did start a discussion for this already. 1) What kind of ground do you wish to create? flat or rugged (how much)? 2) Do you want to use an actor for the ground? or the world background? The answer to (1) above could determine how (2) is answered. This is because a flat ground (either level or slanted) would be more easily dealt with by using actors; a rugged ground would be more easily dealt with by using the background of the world.

1) It should be with hills 2) I guess that would be background but how do I make the background "Hilled"?

It has to be the same every time and it will be used to drive a truck with a container on it the container is not stuck on the truck/trailer and when you hit a bumb to hard you will loose the container.

I suggest that you use an image editor to create the at least the ground. You could create the entire background image if you prefer. If only the image of the ground is created and saved, you would draw the image onto the background image of the world. Make sure that the top edge of the ground is a specific color all the way across and is not used elsewhere in your background; or significantly different from the color immediately above the ground. You will need to check the color of the background at the base of your truck actor to determine where ground level is for each set of wheels.

Can you give us an update on your progress?

Sorry, i pasted the wrong thing. My bad, didnt know you were angry. But i would love to see your progress if it's possible please.

I suggest for making a hilled background to use Gimp. It's easy to use, and it's free. It would be nice to hear if you succesfully developed your game. Good luck with your game.

You might check out Pixlr.com as a free, online web editor. It kind of mirrors Photoshop in many ways. I actually use that when I'm on a friend or family members computer when they don't have PhotoShop.
