After almost ten years in the business, the one constant I've learned is that we're all amateurs. From enterprise architecture to creative site design and many points in-between, each challenge has only served to teach me new things about software development, business, and life.

Scrolling 2D sprites on a map with a camera yes indeed it is much less painful. I adopted the view matrix approach a while ago and haven't looked back since my first stumbling steps. |

snapping an angle to the closest cardinal direction Anyone reading this answer later - Gregory's answer is a great approach, but can be very inaccurate (up to 45d/0.785r!) when dealing with negative angles. Please see my edit for a corrected, semi-optimized answer |

Scrolling 2D sprites on a map with a camera It appears that my problem, as usual was between the chair and the keyboard. The defect was actually in my collision detection - I was culling inactive collisions too aggressively from the collision list. |

Scrolling 2D sprites on a map with a camera the primary problem I'm having (which I think is a symptom of other things too...) is that collision detection no longer works, since I'm checking to see if the actual position is a collision, rather than the rendered position. I don't want to have to have collision code compensate for the camera offset |
