Questions about old games

[Marcus]

I know how to make the levels using the Tilemap Editor... I am really struggling with how and when to use the appropriate commands. The document that I have gives a summary of the Editor and a list of all the Library functions but there are no examples... A tutorial for the Editor would be a good idea....

In the meantime, I have used the "old school" method to create the level, using a text file of the "map" layout. Using a simple Axial Aligned Bounding Box function, for collision detection, I have managed to land the ship on the pad successfully and also managed to test the crashing as well... At the moment, the collision detection, is only working for the landing pad... Not much point if I can only land and crash on one tile... lol

The game is still to short and a bit difficult to land... but it does land (and crash) on the red pad just fine... lol



I am slowly going nuts with this one... maybe a nice game of Pong?... *sigh*

There should be some tilemap examples in n7/examples/tilemap_library. But I'll see if I can make a video for the editor and code
