Tutorial request

by Darren Stuart · in Torque Game Builder · 04/26/2005 (3:10 am) · 5 replies

Can some very kind person write one on tile maps as this is an area which is light on information.

Info it could cover

simple loading of a map
working with layers
working with scrolling maps

I might write one if I can ever figure it out :P

Just about everything you just mentioned is covered in the spaceshooter tutorial in the docs folder it on page 24 of the T2D Basic Tutorial.pdf

Edit:
Im pretty sure there will be a map tool tutorial once they get more ground work done on the tool itself

Btw the main reason I haven't done a tilemap tutorial is because GG is working on a new tilemap format (to help them make updates down the road) which will break the current tilemap saves... so I didn't want to help people build complex tilemaps just to not be able to use them lol :)

Good call, I look forward to seeing as soon as they release the update with the new format :P
