You can still "tile" with just Pygame. It would just require you to blit an extra piece of the background image surface whenever you get to a seam, until the seam is off the screen.-- Andrew Ulysses Baker

Use Opengl, and just tile the texture infinitely, and use a perspective view matrix. ;-)
I actually tried OpenGL some time ago for isometrics. I was even able to
get "billboarding" (sprites) working to some extent, and I liked being
able to rotate the thing to any angle. But the framerate was

If you progress with this isometric stuff, and get around any of the

1) I had a mechanism that allowed you to "pick up" the entire iso grid and
move it around on screen. Whilst this worked fine without any actors o

Good luck!

I see the responses, and will get to them tonight -- short on time.
I had an idea, though, on "picking": how about creating a hidden
graphics layer where the top of each iso-tile is "shadowed" with a
unique color representing its coords? (eg. tile (4,2) gets color
(0,4,2).) Then when the user

Can anyone offer advice on isometric math?
Say that I've got an iso landscape like this:

(I've since switched to 128x64 tiles; these are 90x45.)
I know where to put the tiles based on a height map and some arbitrary
starting point, but:
