Graphics / What is the best way to manage a tilemap?

« on: January 22, 2012, 07:24:23 am »

mateandmetal: using a big image? Is it not too much? I'm afraid that with a map of 1000x1000 and 32x32 tiles it would be too big

sorry .. I mean 1 image containing all the tiles in your tilesheet, like this:

...And SFML does its best to avoid including <windows.h> in its own public headers.

Use a big image containing all your tiles.

You don´t need a sprite for every tile.. I use 1 sprite for the sf::Texture (the tilesheet), then subrect and draw the tile..

I think the "Is/Get" syntax makes SFML more easy to learn for the beginners

sf::View Camera;
sf::FloatRect CameraFR;
sf::Vector2f CameraPos;

// Camera settings
CameraFR.Left = 0;
CameraFR.Top = 0;
CameraFR.Width = (float) (your window width)
CameraFR.Height = (float) (your window Height);

// Set the viewport
Camera.Reset(CamaraFR);
Camera.SetViewport(sf::FloatRect(0, 0, 1, 1));

// Set the camera center
Camera.SetCenter (CameraPos);

// Set the camera
yourWindow.SetView(Camera);

then draw your scene
move the camera with CameraPos
