Slick Forums

Lately I want to develop some isometric game, using great map editor but when I want to use map in Slick I get error that isometric is not supported. Ok, u made normal map support, but it would be great to also support other types of maps. There is no other engine written in java available to have isometric support.

Writting my own engine or support for slick is too much time consuming for me. I would also need to much learning how slick works. You guys already know about the code and writting this support can't be such a big deal.

This one I've made with slick...
I'll try to clean it up and port it completely to slick

As you can see on the picture, it's 1:2 isometric perspective.
It'd be nice if it'd support any isometric perspective
So there is a little code required for it.

edit: As I can see, Tiled has a new release since Nov,2009. I'll port my code to it's current implementation.

edit2: I just glanced at tiled qt 0.4 and am amazed! It nicely supports objects on a isomap.
I'll redo my workarounds on my code, so they don't depend on my changes to previous java version of Tiled.
That was, what I was waiting for

edit3:
project frozen, sry guys, my fault
cheers, kulpae

Oh... so that's why it was never posted.

I've moved to hex maps so I forgot all about isometric tiles, I have the code but its 3x slower than regular maps (because of the way tiles are called).

I can update it soon (after I finish another sprint for my game) for better performance, but I'll send you the code again anyway.

I'll also send you the code mtm.

[EDIT] I've sent you the code once again to the slick's email.

Thanks dude. I'll get to it asap.

Actually, anyone got a test isometric map I can try this stuff out with?

Kev

I working in my free time on isomeric game in Java. Recently I decided move to Slick, and I plan using title map editor. I would be very grateful if you can send me that code too.

Thanks for the hard work. Added this in SVN along with a test and testdata
