Isometric Mapping Demo re-visited
« on: November 29, 2021, 06:38:21 pm »
I was playing with the code for the Isometric Mapping Demo
by SMcNeill, bplus, and others, at
https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1903.30
and got it to draw and render some objects in different colors.
I modified the rendering routine to draw a single block at the Z coordinate, instead of drawing UP TO the Z coordinate.
The code is crude but it works - enjoy.
