Very cool, thanks for links, have downloaded the source for g2, can't wait to start digging through it. It's hit half past braindead-oclock here, night all, and thx again. On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 12:20 AM, Shao Sean wrote: > http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4295 > > http://fo

Thank you all for the help. It's not pretty yet, but I now have a 9x9 grid that does wrap scrolling using the arrow keys, sets 1 of 2 possible tiles for each square based on current position, and it even seems to run decently fast. So far the data isn't coming from an array, just from a flat list

K gotcha. And then layer the button positions so that things work out once the tiles are set. I -think- I understand how this will work. Going back to play more. On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 8:24 PM, Dar Scott wrote: > > On Sep 23, 2010, at 8:13 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: > > 3/4 view? Same as iso vi

3/4 view? Same as iso view? Oh cool, just looked up toroid (didn't know what it was believe it or not) got a visual of how that would work now, thx! Setting things up with buttons now, and simply using labels to mark terrain types for the moment so I can get a basic movement system running, stil

You might consider using buttons, not for any button functionality, but to reference images. Lay those out as you need. They will be in the same coordinates as your sprites and arrows and things. You can butt those against each other. Adjust the margins if buttons have them. If you go t

Awesome, since i'm horrible at graphic design, I was hoping to find free tilesets, and those look really nice! Thank you thank you. On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 7:38 PM, wayne durden wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I don't have anything to add with regard to organizing your game, but if > you > want some real

Hi Mike, I don't have anything to add with regard to organizing your game, but if you want some really spiffy graphics for tile based game design there are some really good free ones at the following url: http://lunar.lostgarden.com/labels/free%20game%20graphics.html For instance the set: Danc'

Pulling out sections for view is part of the plan, after experimenting more, setting imagesource for my map is probably not on the "good idea" list, so i'm going to experiment with the button idea, thank you much. Might experiment with the same thing in a datagrid just for practice. Think if I st

Finally am getting back on my feet(health stuff, long story) and want to try and learn some new things. I'm looking at making a very simple overhead view rpg, and my thought was to use tilesets and set the imagesource of the chars to the desired tile based on letter. (meaing w for wall, f for floo
