Hey. I've started making an diagonal isometric map engine, like SimCity2000. I used TANSLAAF's tutorial for the method blting the tiles. I cannot figure out how to get sprite coords. Getting the mouse coords alone will take some work. Will I have to do the same sort of thing with the mouse as with the sprite position???

PS - If you have any really good examples or anything, besides Jim Adams's examples on his site, please tell me or email me at
email - datisme@notme.com

Please Help,
Thanks alot,

What do you mean by sprite position? Are you talking about selection objects? If you are then you can read an article on www.xyphus.com/users/dino/. There is a section called Technical in which are a plethora, well maybe not that many, of articles to help you with your engine. One of the articles is on Object Selection. Read up and enjoy.
