Yeah, i'm trying my hands on the prototyping challenge of the site I posted some weeks ago in pixal art;

After two hours of programming I got a nice random-based map with dynamic generated shadows

I'm programming in C# with XNA. Just thought some of you might find this intresting. Don't know whether I'll ever see it as a real project, but thought it might be cool to get me starting with XNA

Looking pretty sweet so far kv83, im just having a little truble following the perspective. The heights seem a little out of whack?

EDIT - This would make a cool calc game

yeah...close, but the height is a little out of whack.
nice, though.

Yeah, i played a little with hight already. Can't get it really to work though. Maybe i'll try something else later this evening

Horizontal distance between tiles should be 100, vertical distance (same level) should be 80. Each time you go up or down a level, should add or subtract 40 pixels.
These tiles are drawn spaced too far vertically.

I have the 100 and 40, however... 80 feeled akward, so I used 85, which looked less akward. i'll post a picture this evening with 80

Looking cool, though I agree with the comments on the slightly strange heights.

Are you only using XNA's limited class library?

kv83 · Post by **kv83** » Wed 18 Jul, 2007 3:18 pm

Define limited?

Ok. I changed the height to 80. The result;

Is this better?

Sort of, however when overlapping with the row behind it is ugly. It would look much better in an isometric view.

I don't have isometric tiles, and I don't plan to make them... so that's propably not an option

thanks though

Ok, yeah thats looking right now kv83. Did you ever think about a calc version?

Heh. Even though I said I don't plan to make them I got around to actually make some;

Comments are appreciated of course

Nope. Feel free to use the concept. It isn't even mine concept

. I'm not really into ASM atm. Maybe sometime in the future again.

I prefer it when the tiles are not "synced", looks too planned and thought out as it is now

Cute.

Can you define "synced"? Do you mean the pattern on the cubes itself? Or am I missing something here?
