When creating a map in tiled map editor, the tool ask for a map size.
Like 50 x 50 using each tile with 32 px would result in : 1600 x 1600 pixels.
I want to create a level using this tool for my game. But, i just want to cover the hole screen of the device without having to scroll the map.
Each device has a resolution, how do i accomplish that? If i build using a iphone resolution i don’t think it will work for other devices even if using the ultimate config file.
PS: Using MTE engine.
Corona’s scaling mechanics between devices handles fitting your display objects to different aspect ratios.
Are you seeing strange results when attempting to scale objects between devices? I know Lerg just made some posts about a new “ultimate config file” that might be helpful.
Alex@PaNc, as a matter of fact i’m using his config.lua.
But when using tiled map, corona will handle the map as one single image?
Because if using 32x32 px tiles as i mentioned earlier it would be something like:
960 x 640 (iPhone 4):
960/32 = 30
640/32 = 20
Resulting in: 30x20 Tiles in that screen.
When dealing with iPad Retina - 1536 x 2008:
48x62 tiles.
Should i pick one of those resolution?
The issue lies with using a constant value for your tile sizes. You’re going to want to use a value that’s based on the size of your device. Some combination of display.contentHeight/contentWidth. I think I was using display.actualContentHeight/Width at one point, but I’m away from my machine and can’t check.
It also looks like the MTE Dev has suggestions on how to accomplish this as well:
Thanks Alex! Haven’t seen this topic before. Even if some points in that topic is outdated it helped me to understand the concept a little bit. I’m playing with some values, hope it will lead me to the right direction.
