tile

I'm trying to simulate a battle in a really basic program, but since this is my first time with a big program in Java I'm pretty much clueless on how to proceed. I was thinking I'd have a big 600-by-600 panel and use Graphics2D to just draw the terrain as 20x20 rectangles... Unfortunately even with several tutorials I have no idea what to do. I have 10 different types of terrain to cycle through, and 5 different landscape profiles. Basically what I want the program to do is when I select a certain profile in a combobox, it paints the landscape and the two opposing sides in the battle (though I

I'm looking for a logical understanding with sample implementation ideas on taking a tilemap such as this: http://thorsummoner.github.io/old-html-tabletop-test/pallete/tilesets/fullmap/scbw_tiles.png And rendering in a logical way such as this: http://thorsummoner.github.io/old-html-tabletop-test/ I see all of the tiles are there, but I don't understand how they are placed in a way that forms shapes. My understanding of rendering tiles so far is simple, and very manual. Loop through map array, where there are numbers (1, 2, 3, whatever), render that specified tile. var mapArray = [ [0, 0, 0, 0

I have a large high-resolution image that I am using for an overlay using Google Maps v3 API. This works fine for desktop and laptop computers with a reasonable network connection, but unsurprisingly it does not work so well for mobile users. What's the best/easiest way to break the image up into 2D tiles at the various zoom levels so I can act as a tile server for Google Maps via the API? Is there a program that will reliably generate the tiles for me and provide me with the necessary zoom and coordinates for each resulting tile and/or give me the correct tile if I provide the zoom and

I'm developing a 2D tile engine and at this moment I'm working on map generation algorithms. I tried the basic ones usually involved in simple heightmap generation like hill generation perlin noise diamond square but I always get the same problem: this kind of algorithms seems suitable when dealing with tile maps that also have a height component but this is not my case. I basically have sprites like grass, sea, desert and so on but they shouldn't be placed inside the map according to a generated height but something like everything starts from ocean islands are placed in the middle of the map

What is the most efficient way to add a tile map in a JavaFX program? The program that I use for creating tile maps is called "Tiled", and the saved files are in .tmx format. Now, the question is, how do I import that exactly in my 2d game? I haven't been able to find helpful information on the net. Code examples are greatly appreciated. Thanks Use the Eppleton JavaFX TileEngine (unfortunately this link is now dead: similar content is still hosted on javageeks : Beware link comes with annoying add popup ). Update : Unfortunately the eppleton blog entry previously linked, which contained

I have to modify existing application, where leaflet layers control is used - I need to display one of the base layers when the map is initiated. Is there a way, how to call some function from the layers control from JS script - something like control.select(1) ....? If not, how can add a tile layer in the same way as it is done by the control - when I add new L.TileLayer during map init, it's not overwritten by manual layers control selection change? You could try to emulate a user click on the Leaflet Layers Control, but there is a much more simple way to achieve what you initially describe.
