Optimized Tiling
Author
Hallo,
i have a problem with tiling.
How can i optimize this part of code?
for (int y = 0; y < mapheight; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < mapwidth; x++)
{
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(float(x), float(y), 0.0f);
glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(float(x + 1), float(y), 0.0f);
glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);glVertex3f(float(x + 1), float(y + 1), 0.0f);
glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);glVertex3f(float(x), float(y + 1), 0.0f);
glEnd();
}
}
You don't have to begin and end for every quad. This is fine:
float fx = 0.0f;float fy = 0.0f;glBegin(GL_QUADS);for (int y = 0; y < mapheight; y++, fy += 1.0f){ for (int x = 0; x < mapwidth; x++, fx += 1.0f) { glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(fx, fy, 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(fx + 1.0f, fy, 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);glVertex3f(fx + 1.0f, fy + 1.0f, 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);glVertex3f(fx, fy + 1.0f, 0.0f); }}glEnd();

Thank you for the very quick answer. This code works fine but it is not much faster
I have a second question.
Should i use Quadtree for large maps?
and if yes how can i do this in a 2d map?

I'm assuming that code there draws all the tiles in your map. I doubt you'd need anything as complex as a quadtree, especially if your camera is at fixed zoom level. Simply determine which tiles are on screen and only render them. Hell, it can still be done with a variable zoom level.

i want to make a map in ortho mode with iso view.
can you give me a piece of code how i can only render the tiles in the viewport?
Would be really nice.

Try this somewhere in your startup code (DO NOT call this every frame, just once at the beginning !):
unsigned int dlist = glGenLists(1);glNewList(dlist, GL_COMPILE);glBegin(GL_QUADS);for (int y = 0; y < mapheight; y++){ for (int x = 0; x < mapwidth; x++) { glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(float(x), float(y), 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(float(x + 1), float(y), 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);glVertex3f(float(x + 1), float(y + 1), 0.0f); glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);glVertex3f(float(x), float(y + 1), 0.0f); }}glEnd();glEndList();Then, every frame you render your stuff by executing the display list:
glCallList(dlist);Although faster than manual immediate mode, the real speed up will only come from using proper frustum culling and VBOs. But for starters, a display list is already a good approach.
