a few questions about a tilemap and a camera

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/a few questions about a tilemap and a camera

Hello again.

Thanks Papa. Wow is that some heavy coding in that example! Hopefully There is an easier way of doing it, or a shorter more simple way. At a quick glance at his code I think he is using the maps index and the viewport to make it scroll and not just a screen coordinate. That helps me out by answering which way I should code it. I will certainly have to study that awhile to get to understand it. Thanks for pointing me to it .


To the other question, I guess I will need to load an animImage with different tiles in it to get the foliage I want without(hopefully) the slow down that a regular .bmp image being drawn over the tiled map caused.
