Ranman seems to be hiding us stuff really %) , i see no progress at all, however the progress percentage still rise (it's 86% now), i fear that he's planning to help JFISH to give us an heart attack by releasing many screenshots at once O_O |

Unfortunately... not yet.
My new baby boy (born October 24th) has affected my progress more than I had anticipated. But... it is getting close. Hang in there.

Check out Kartingz...

It utilizes rotating tiles and tile maps.

| hmm by looking at figure 2 i wonder if it would be easy to create a semi isometric game with rotating maps? |

I prefer the second method of defining the tile map data.
Here is how I interpret Isometric tiles...
Figure 1: This is a standard tile map
Figure 2: Now rotate the tile map from Figure 1 by 45 degrees. Notice the coordinates rotate along with the map.
Figure 3: Now squish the tile map from Figure 2 by a factor of 2 to achieve the pseudo three dimensional effect. This results in the look of the standard isometric projection (120 degree angle between the x,y axis).
The 68k processor can easily handle single bytes.

| edit: ya Ranman, I see it now. width is 16 and height is 7 + unused row for vertical alignment. well, making the tile extra wide isn't that bad. infact, 68k processor can't handle single bytes very well can it? |

If you look closer at JFISH's tiles, you will see that the full viewable isometric tile is 16x8. Now, he could be using two 8x8 tiles (side by side) to create the full effect, but the person playing the game sees the tile as 16x8.
| QUOTE (Liazon @ 6 Jan, 2007, 10:52) |
| well JFish is using 8x8, and his look pretty good, although detail might not be so good in b/w. |

Traditionally, I think it is the other way around; width = 2 * height.
| QUOTE (xlibman @ 5 Jan, 2007, 18:55) |
| yeah usually a isometric tile's height is twice its width, so it cannot be 8x8, else it would be wicked small |

You will have to use a combination of both.
You will need to develop a method to convert the tilemap's coordinates to physical screen coordinates.

| coordinate system? align w/ edges of tiles (tilted), or regular? |

I would vote for 32x16 or 24x12 or 16x8, but they were not in the list to vote for.
Isometric tiles look like "squished" tiles that have been rotated 45 degrees -- where the angle between each axis is 120 degrees. But due to hardware restrictions, you must draw the tile as below; where the visible tile is represented by the '*' and the masked portion is represented by the '-'.

Utterly amazing! I can't believe my eyes. :gah:
The physics of this engine are awesome! The turns... the hills and valleys... the backgorund sillhouette... very realistic. And this is done with BASIC & xLib... even more amazing!
Keep up the great work! :bow:
