Author Topic: Isometric Demo re-revisited v2.70 added variable grid size (Read 3267 times)

madscijr · « **on:** December 04, 2021, 11:30:25 am »

Just a small update to the tweaked Isometric Mapping Demo code from
https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1903.30

The + and - keys now grow and shrink the grid size.

I started a bigger overhaul (moving to split screen 1-4 players, allow players to rotate angle of view)
and I wanted to post this version, because it could be a while before the next one is working!

Hopefully someone will find this useful. Comments welcome!

' Isomatric mapping demo re-revisited
' Version 2.70 by madscijr
 
' Based on Isometric Mapping Demo
' by SMcNeill, bplus, and others at
' https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1903.30
 
' This crude version uses a 3-dimensional array (32x32x32)
' to store cubes of different colors,
' and draws them to the screen in 2.5D "isometric".
 
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' DONE:
' * Render cubes that block the view of the player as transparent.
' * 2-D top down "map" view of the player's current Z slice.
' * variable grid size
 
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' TO DO:
' * change arrMap to global shared variable (for simpler code) & rename m_arrMap
' * allow player to rotate their view
' * auto-rotate view depending on direction player is facing
' * local multiplayer (2-4 players)
'   - move player info into array
'   - split screen (x2 or x4)
' * make simple open world (players can add/remove blocks, build in real time, save screens)
' * add ramp object
' * gravity (players stay on ground, can fall)
' * add ability to walk up ramps / climb ladders / etc.
' * add ability to jump over 1 space
' * option to remap keys
' * support game controllers
' * game controller calibration/mapping function
' * expand world to bigger than screen (2.5d scrolling view)
' * option to hide objects out of player's line-of-sight
' * show player as a stick figure (like "Realm of Impossibility")
' * walking movement
' * add objects (water, ladders, ropes, windows, doors, etc.)
' * simultaneously show additional 1st person view
' * add ability for tilting head up/down in first person
' * make simple games (maze craze, capture the flag, snake, surround, 2.5d pong)
' * make more complex games (berzerk, lode runner, atari combat / tank)
' * make awesome complex games (2.5d lunar lander, atari adventure, asteroids, gravitar, etc.)

You should post in Programs in one thread as a work in progress. That way if amounts to something, and it should with continued progress, librarians have a single thread to reference. MasterGy is doing good job of that with "car simulator".

I wonder if you can make a Christmas tree of cubes or even a whole xmas scene?
