Isometric Maps and Tiled

Hi all,

I’ve been looking into Corona as my next tool of choice for prototyping a game I have in mind. The art style I’m heading towards is isometric but it would appear isometric support within Corona is fairly lacking.

Current resources:

https://github.com/anthonygore/Isometric-Tiled-Map-Loader

Super simple no frills Tiled isometric map loader.

It got me a working map but the lack of of virtually any other features makes this little more than a piece of code to review.

https://github.com/ponywolf/ponytiled and https://github.com/GymbylCoding/Dusk-Engine

No isometric support but both have a better feature set when it comes to orthogonal maps generated using Tiled.

So, to the question; has anyone found any resources for creating and subsequently integrating isometric maps into Corona SDK? I don’t want to re-invent the wheel and I’m not sure if the benefits of Corona will outweigh the effort required to add the level of isometric mapping support I’m looking for.

Thanks!

Hi,

had the same idea a year ago, haven’t found anything since. Realised it’s a ton of work to build it myself and reprioritised my work.

Let me know if you find anything  :stuck_out_tongue:

I know several developers have gotten isometric working but I have no experience with it, so I can’t really speak on how to do it.
