Tile Map Scrolling
Author
hey everyone, two questions.One, is the directx 9 sdk out?and the main question is this. I am making a tile engine(for an RPG)i have the tile map load from a char structure, and it draws the maps etc(Im using DX 8 btw) anyways, everything is set up, i just need a way to add scrolling. Is scrolling just modifying the x,y coordinates of the tiles?Like if they press left, every tile''s x coordiantes is subtracted by 32?(Tile size)thx
it depends on how you want to do it. There is a very simple smooth scroller on my site you can look at. Nevermind that it is using my own API you should get the general idea by looking at the source.

You must calcuate the screen coordinates for every object, like this :
object.screen_x = object.global_x - (player.global_x - player.screen_x)
In this case this holds true : if( key_left() ) player.x--;
For example:

object.screen_x = object.global_x - (player.global_x - player.screen_x)
In this case this holds true : if( key_left() ) player.x--;
For example:
player.global_x= 50player.screen_x= 5//player.screen_x is a default value, the amount of space before the player ://-----P--O--//0123456789A//0-4 => p.s_x=5object.global_x= 53object.screen_x= 53 - (50 - 5) = 8 [edited by - viajero on January 18, 2003 5:37:34 AM]
