After experimenting with scrolling tile maps and deciding that I couldn't meet my requirements with straight Python, I wrote a C extension to create a vertex array based on numpy tileMap and texCoord arrays.
it supports flipping, rotating and tinting (with alpha) individual tiles and I get about 600fps while scrolling under Linux (8600 GT video). The source code is available at: http://www.koltois.com/2011/12/09/tilemap-test-source-code/ My requirements included unlimited map size, animated tiles, on-the- fly tinting, etc. and I couldn't get it to work at a decent speed with Python or even Cython. The rest of the project I am working on is all Python with Pyglet. The way it's done also easily supports animated tiles (change the tileMap ID in the array), but the above code does not implement it. This code was hacked out of a larger project and is a bit messy and probably not optimal, but I'm definitely open to suggestions for improvements. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
