I could use some help on working out why my draw_tiles()isn't drawing my tiles right.
I've out put the (test level) Level[7][7] Array to a text file and its looking like it should:
0000000
0110220
0110220
0000000
0330330
0330330
0000000
my drawtile(tilenumber, ScreenX, ScreenY) (Not to be confused with draw_tile
s()) draws fine when i call it independanlty to draw any tile from my tile map to any screen position.
But this tile drawing loop is giving me screwy results.
Its meant to draw the 7x7 tile map into the isometric dimond shape on screen.. but it just draws them all over the place. mostly grouped into a semblance of somthing kind of retangular ... but patchy
void draw_tiles()
{
int XStart = 0;// X Position in the Level array to start drawing from.
int YStart = 0;// Y Position in the Level array to start drawing from.
int Row_StartX = 0; // X Position on screen to start drawing a row of tiles from.
int Row_StartY = 0; // Y Position on screen to start drawing a row of tiles from.
int XIncrement = 0; // Increment added to X Position to find start of new line
int YIncrement = 0; // Increment added to Y Position to find start of new line
int X = 0; //Increment added to draw next tile in the row
int TiW; //Tiles In Width (To be drawn)
for(int i = 1; i <= (TilesInWidth*2)-1; i++)
{
if(i <= TilesInWidth)//Draw the upper half of the map.
{
XStart = 0;
YStart = (i-1);
TiW = i;
XIncrement = -16;
YIncrement = 8;
}
else //Draw the lower half of the map.
{
XStart = i - TilesInWidth;
YStart = TilesInWidth -1;
TiW = TilesInWidth - (i - TilesInWidth);
XIncrement = 16;
}
for(int j = 0; j <= TiW; j++)
{
draw_tile(Level[XStart + j][YStart -j],Row_StartX+X,Row_StartY);
X += TileWidth;
}
X = 0;
Row_StartX += XIncrement;
Row_StartY += YIncrement;
}
}
one of two things is happening ( I think), it either:
1) Im missing somthing really simple
or
2) That loop is pure junk (I'm betting on this one)
