Python / [Solved] Saving sprites in a list

« on: June 30, 2013, 08:17:48 pm »

I'm new to python and I'm trying to make a list of sprites, all with the same texture but with different positions. I try and append the sprites with new positions onto my list, but all the sprites in the list end up having the same position. Any help?

def stageLoader():
    try:
        texture = sf.Texture.from_file("Brown Block.png")
    except:
        exit(1)
    tileSprite = sf.Sprite(texture)
    spriteMap = []

    for xtile in range(8):
        for ytile in range(4):
            tileSprite.position = (xtile*100, ytile*170)
            spriteMap.append(tileSprite)
    return spriteMap

stageMap = stageLoader()
for tile in range(len(stageMap)):
        print(stageMap[tile].position)
 

My output is this:
700.0x, 510.0y
700.0x, 510.0y
700.0x, 510.0y
700.0x, 510.0y
700.0x, 510.0y
700.0x, 510.0y

Graphics / Organising large tilemaps

« on: May 27, 2012, 01:08:06 am »

Hi, I've been having a problem on organising a tile based game

Lets say I load a tilesheet with around 10 tiles, then I use subrect to separate this tilesheet into separate tiles, which will be numbered from 1 to 10.

For small maps I create a two-dimensional array, where each element of the array can have a number from one to ten which represents a particular tile; it is then easy to draw a small map as the number of elements in this array is small and I can just fill in this array manually with a number from 1-10 that I choose.

For large maps (large multid-array), is there an easy/automatic way of getting the numbers that would be stored into this array using the same tilesheet as above? I was thinking of using a tilemap editor, but I dont really understand what it exports, does it export a list of numbers/labels that can correspond to the same tilesheet that I mentioned above?
