I would like to know what tool/class should I use to create a map that used for games?
such example: user use key to move an object...and if moves then the more map will shown
...
I admit, I did not do much research on this.. but I wanted to approach the concept of "map" by myself.
I was thinking about linked list ...
could someone help me through understanding this.. :)
Are you talking about the "model" for your game, or the "view" that displays it on the screen? "show" suggests a GUI solution, but linked list is something you would use in a amodel and has no GUI characteristics whatever.
Maybe you can expand/clarify the requirements some more?
Here is an example : http://www.craftworkgames.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/hello_tile_game.jpg
so, when the player moves to the right the map/expand... or if to the left
the concept of creating this, not sure how!
also,
the same idea but the player can move in all direction, north,south,east,west
and the map will expand...
:)
thank you for your reply.
By "map" do you mean a background image that is drawn and filled in as it is moved?
For example if the background is moved down, new background is drawn in on the top.
Here is an excellent Map maker especially made for gaming (RPG style). Been using it for couple years.
