Title: Isometric projection?
Post by: Ako on July 16, 2009, 10:35:33 am

Hello!

Does SFML 1.5 support an isometric tile view? Or will >1.5 do? Or will I have to code this on my own?
I haven't a lot of knowledge about OpenGL and 3D stuff so I'm hoping that SFML helps a little...

Thanks a lot in advance!

No, you'll have to do this on your own ;)

For isometric view, you don't have to know much about OpenGL or 3D graphics, since isometry is a way to "simulate" 3D graphics with 2D images. ;)

Maybe the english wikipedia article helps you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection
Or you reflect about it yourself... :)

Thanks for the answers.
So I shall just use proper rotated sprites instead of a custom 3D scene (with triangle strips)? :o

EDIT:
Ok, that actually works fine, thanks again ;)
