Jul 12	comment	Shaky Camera Effect 2D See in the link in the comment for the possible duplicate if you want a more advanced (but harder to implement) solution. Basically the principle of keeping a logical and actual viewport would be the same, but the generation of movement is not liniear but more organical, because its based on a noise. But it looks quiet advanced to implement, so if you are a beginner, I would stay with a simpler solution at first.
Jul 12	comment	Managing text-maps in a 2D array on to be painted on HTML5 Canvas the code seems to work fine... basically you could cache those values (keep track of changes in the viewport and when the viewport was changed, when rendering, recalculate them). I just keep them in my render method, as you only need those values for rendering.
Jul 11	comment	Managing text-maps in a 2D array on to be painted on HTML5 Canvas Yep, this will also work.
Jul 11	comment	Java - Tile engine changing number in array not changing texture I'm not entirely sure, but try to adapt my proposed changes to the code. In render you use map[y][x], in load you use map[x][y] etc. Get the code straight and edit your post (include the changed code). If it still won't change the tiles, maybe something is wrong with the tilesets. Try to render only the textures and see if they are loaded correctly.
Jul 11	comment	Managing text-maps in a 2D array on to be painted on HTML5 Canvas Yeah, you just have to make a js based viewport class (or you could just create 4 variables x, y, w and h). Also you have to make sure to floor (Math.floor) those calculations, that are assigned to the int values. I added a code example, how the viewport class would look like. Just make sure, that you put the declaration before the usage.

Jul 10	comment	Managing text-maps in a 2D array on to be painted on HTML5 Canvas If you mean that the position of the camera is 531 then yes. I added some comments to the code above.
