Title: First game
Post by: tkir on January 13, 2016, 03:57:23 pm
Hi all!
it's my first game. About a month with SFML, about 7 month of studying programming from zero.
http://youtu.be/1AtpjUm5w5I

Code: https://github.com/tkir/tkir_Game (https://github.com/tkir/tkir_Game)

Now I tring to convert game in isometric map.
I checked collisions, but can't make pathfinder.
Is anybody made something like:
struct entityObject{
        Vector2f point[4];
};

std::vector<Vector2f> pathfinder (entityObject player,
    std::vector<entityObject> obstacles,
    Vector2f targetPosition)
{
        std::vector<Vector2f> path
        /* ... */

        return path;
}

std::vector<Vector2f> path = pathfinder(player, obstaclesVector, targetPos);
 
(http://i63.tinypic.com/o882ft.png)

map contains from the float pixels, player is not a point (it have sizes)

Is somebody solved this pathfinder already?

Your pathfinder should not be dependend on your visual representation of the map.

Example here:

Hi!
Next step is pathfinder. It work with isometric map. Smoothing is workin too!

it looks better. i was wondering, are you going to make it as game or just a practice in tile-base games?

btw, to show video  just copy and paste the link from browser search bar without s in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=#####

It's my first experience in game coding, & it's best practice in C++.

May be for a month Pathfinder & parser for isometric map will transform into library.
Is it expedient for other SFML users?

i haven't done any tile-based game yet. but you made pretty good, i have learned from it alot  :)

You should read this link: Write Games, not Engines (http://geometrian.com/programming/tutorials/write-games-not-engines/). Don't set out and try to write a generic library that anyone can use, instead focus on making a game with your code.

At 00:30 in your video, the "enemy" inside the walls in the centre of the map learns how to travel through objects and then, for some reason, prefers to travel backwards.  ;D

I spot tile glitches from time to time. Am I right or it is due to video recording?

Yes. It's problem of SFML.

This is inaccurate. SFML can reliably draw tiles without glitches if done correctly.
