A lot of people asked about making 2D maps and how to use different types of tiles like water vs dirt. For this lesson I created a couple of simple images to use for tile maps. This asset will be sort of abstract data, and can be “skinned” with specific tiles at a later point. They are available in this package here.

In that project, we had some unique challenges thanks to a non-square board where tiles were optional. In addition we had to consider tile heights – and whether or not a unit could jump as high as needed. In contrast, the pathfinding in this lesson will be for a 2D square board with no missing tiles.

Especially when working with large datasets, interaction can be difficult as render and compute times become prohibitive. Visualization compute and render times are brought down to interactive speeds, unblocking the discovery process. You can use it by itself to render a variety of precise and high-density chart types.

Odds and Ends Gotta check every little thing, like the tiles-ASCII toggling animation, does that work? For the tileset animation I think it was as simple as having needed to set it to match whatever tile size the map is currently using, rather than always using the standard size. How about the map export function?

Although I imagine that for the most part the player will only be controlling medium sized units (which occupy a single tile), I also want to make A.I. Even worse is that our current iteration of the pathfinder does not include blocked tiles in its path map, so as it is now, I can’t see a path to an opponent.

The concept is simple, though does require that text characters take up about half the width that tiles do, which can be a little restrictive at certain sizes. Notice how the tiles in this Cogmind screenshot each occupy two cells, delineated by the partial grid overlay. Big chonker tile has arrived. No crashes, just big tiles.

Godot uses plenty of data-oriented optimizations for physics, rendering, audio, etc. Most (if not all) technologies that utilize ECS do it at the core engine level, by serving as the base architecture and building everything else (physics, rendering, audio, etc.) EventHandler. Game logic.

This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter.

So it’s a lot easier for a game engine to generate them and render them efficiently if it’s done with code. Now, there’s a whole lot more that goes into good-level design than just putting objects or placing the tile sets so that they look pretty.

We will also provide a tile based room for them to fight in. SetLayerOrder can be used to make sure that the various sprite renderers will appear in the correct order. I want the combatants that are lower on the tile map to appear above the combatants higher on the tile map so that they appear closer.

They’re both games where you move around a grid of different tile types, and the one you’re standing on determines what you can do there. At this point you live or die by what tiles happen to be between you and it – if they all do 1 blue damage and the enemy has 4 blue health, you are dead.
