| Dec 2, 2012 at 3:50 | comment | added | Tony | ok basically what we're trying to do is creating a transform matrix that will match the isometric world. So then, when looking up for coordinates of your isometric tiles, all you have to do is vector v = inv(transformMatrix) * vector u. Your game camera is in fact a transform matrix. It just is very basic (identity matrix scaled by some factor). The transform matrix for an iso world is a bit trickier (rotation by 45 degree, scaling, translation) but there is nothing that is really complicated. Hope this helps! | |
