Hello,

I know I should know this things, but here it goes:
When I make a map of hex tiles and the width and height are equal
I receive beautiful dimensioned tiles.
But when I (for instance) take a width of 20 tiles and a height of 5 tiles
then I have 5 lines with tiles with their height halved and their width intact.
I know it has something to do with the dimensions of the screen (I use
1024 x 768) but what to do about it, I want the dimension of the tiles
to be correct.

Greetings and Thanks,

Renran

A little more information would help. Could you post two screenshots: One where it's equal, and tiles look as they should, and the other where it's not equal, and you get the undesired effect.

You need to update your projection matrix on "screen size change" event: (for example)

/* void onScreenSizeChange(int width, int height) { */
// width, height - new screen size
glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
// using classic OpenGL
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(width*-0.5,width*0.5,height*-0.5,height*0.5,-1,1); /* modify values here as you need */
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
/* } */

So, when you apply this code, on any screen dimensions you will receive quadratic tiles.

Best wishes, FXACE.

Yes FXACE, that does the trick, long ago I did also struggle with this one
but I did forget how I had to modify.

But thanks for answering guys, Goran Milovanovic and FXACE,
