C++ directx map
Author
I want to make a map like in " the settlers: rise of an empire". I don't want to make interface or levels or something like this;( not yet ) just a map to put trees flowers something simple.
Can someone tell me where to start?
For example: I can render objects with D3D but how do i track all of that objects? ( the map the terrain the flowers ). This is only one of the questions.
I know how to draw a scene how to take input. I think i cand make one step forward: to do map, to put items.
Hope you will write!
A really easy way to do it is to create a 2D array (grid) that will hold all your objects. In each array cell you can specify what kind of object to render.
This isn't very flexible though, because if you want to place more than two items in one spot then you'll need to create a different structure. You could extend this idea and have a 2D array containing an std::list of objects at each cell.

mmakrzem i will take your ideea and change it a bit :) like this:
i make an entity manager: to have a list with all objects added/ removed/ changed;
and a seperate world manager: to load the map;
Do you think it will work?
