I have spent 40 hours in making this tutorial. I really hope it would be useful for some of you.
“We are going to learn how to create an in game map editor that dosen’t use tiles, but directly backdrop images that you can translate, tint, rotate, scale, etc, in different parallax layers and camera zooming. You can have several tilesets and you can of course to save / load the maps using XML files. This type of editor is used in games like Braid or Aquaria. For this tutorial we are going to use IndieLib C++ 2d engine, because their entity objects are great for having graphical objects which attributes can be modified in real time. And we are going to do it with style, using graphics from lostgarden.com prototyping challenges and Aquaria game.”
C++ map editor tutorial, it dosent use tiles but pieced images like in Aquaria game
You can let a comment on IndieLib forums.
Cool! Does Aquaria game use IndieLib?
This is so awesome!
Thanks a lot, both for the engine and the tutorial.
It is by far the most advanced free engine out there for 2d oriented games IMO
good thing, but you have to refine it and make
additives.
Similarly, for the engine, you need to add the GUI, but without source
do so slozhno.I not always the right choice.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming
having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text
in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon.
Thanks
