Isometric Test!

Here’s an image from some isometric tech I’ve been working on. I’ve been having a lot of fun with the XNA SpriteBatch, which is a basic object in the XNA framework that can be used for all things 2D. I’ve been abusing the heck out of alpha transparency–a computationally expensive thing in the DX7 days, but a relatively cheap tool now–for smooth transition zombification.

This does remind me–I need to add shadows under characters.

James,

I was wondering if you would be willing to post or provide by e-mail some of the source code for your isometric Test work. I’ve been trying for some time to convert my tile based top down game project into an isometric view. There is just so much more you can do with the graphics in isometric view. I’m really stuck on trying to draw my tiles turned as required and of course having a camera that shows/draws a rectangle portion of the overall turned tile map.

Thanks for any help

PS. Congtrats on your book btw. I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Though at this point a lot of it is over my head, I think some of the code will come in handy in the future.
