Title: Rotating the map
Post by: williammah on June 21, 2013, 10:39:23 pm
Is it possible to rotate entire maps 45 degrees? Cos' that would make my game look better.

case in point: making this: http://toeholds.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/u7sty-truck-demo.png look like this: http://wenchy.net/45degrees3.jpg

That cannot be done by merely rotating the map. You'd have to draw your graphics in that style. Fortunately you only need the north and east facing sides, the other two directions can be made by flipping the graphics horizontally.

Oh dear sorry I said it wrongly. Those aren't my graphics, those are from Ultima 7, but I'm doing the same perspective.
