Hello,
I've been using Blitz3D for almost 4 years and done nothing in
2D. All my projects were in 3D, even if I wanted to make
something in 2D I used quads/sprites and emulated 2D look in
3D.
Well, I recently bought BlitzMax and I want to start with some
simple projects. I just wanted to ask, what should I use in
order to create a map for my game?
-Do I have to use tilemaps? If so which tilemapper would you
suggest or should I try to code my own editor with MaxGUI
which I also bought?
-Is it possible or a good way to use big, single images for levels like 4096x4096 for a top down shooter?
-Is there any other options?
Thanks in advance and excuse my incompetence in 2D.
Regards!
