Fly Along measured in meters (Jetpack Joyride)

Okay so I have my fly along coming along, no pun intended. I want to have the distance shown measured in meters like how jetpack joyride has it.

If anyone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

What have you got at the moment?

I guess you should first decide how many pixels in your game is a meter and then divide the travelled pixels by that..

Hey LittleStain, I'm using the fly along template they gave me, so the exact layout size and everything. How do I figure out how many pixels in my game is a meter, I mean it doesn't need to be that realistic does it? is this how jetpack joyride does it

Just use an object in game as a reference. You can give a rough size in meters to an object, and just do (Object size in pixels)/(Object size in meters) to give pixels per meter.

For example,

Humans are rarely taller than 2m, so if you have a human character that is 128px tall, you can just say 64px = 1m

I would make this much simpler and just used time passed as the distance. Why go to the trouble of counting pixels and working out distances when every x seconds you travel 1 meter.

I'm guessing that's how Jetpack Joyride works why make things more complicated than they need to be.
