Tilemaps?
« on: July 16, 2014, 02:23:27 am »
Can someone help me setup a tilemap? I'm new to this, I have some 64x64 images  I want to fill up a 800x600 window with. I don't know how these work at all, I'd like some examples.

The tutorials are wonderful things!
There's even a tile map example...
If you need an image to use for the tileset.png in the example, feel free to use this that I made ;)

Thanks...Btw since I'm here...How do I remove the little console in the background while my program is running? It's compiling as GUI.

Link the sfml-main module, as stated in the official SFML & VS tutorial.

You can also search the internet to understand the concept of tilemap. It can be as simple as an array of sprites and thus doesn't need any tutorial.

Yes, they posted the first one above.
And I think I saw the github one before.

There are actually three different tilemap sources on wiki, one is using static arrays, the other is 'dynamic' and rebuilds them and the last one is using a shader.
