OK , I am making a RPG on a isometric tile map. Well i have most of my graphics done(and they do look quite snazy if i do say so myself) but the one obsticle that I have yet to over come if how to program a ISMETRIC TILE ENGINE. I already know windows and directX programming but I really get losy when I look at source code for ISO-tile engines. So I am asking will anyone tell me a good online tutorial/article that i could read that would give me the knowlege for my project? or even a book that I could go purchase would be very helpful. Well anyway thank you to anyone that posts a reply. you can lead a horse through water, but you CAN make him drink.(he may or may not drown with this process)

Try the Developer Resources section of GameDev. You might find some interesting links and
tutorials out there. Also U can try www.isometrix.org.
