Map System
Modules
Detailed Description
The Map-System implementation supports regular as well as rotation maps, but Dynamic Tile Reloading only works with regular maps.
Most significant Map-System features include:
- Support for, in theory, unlimited large maps
- Support for parallax scrolling using fixed point math (Fixed Point macros)
- Support for wrap-around with maps of any size
- Support for collision/event-maps (VirtualMap)
- Map-Drawer only updates edges of the map when it scrolls to save performance
- Map-Drawer is quite faster than the HAM 2.8 map functions
- Can be combined with Tile Functions to dynamically reload tiles which gives you the possibility to create more extended levels.
All coordinates from the Map-System must be specified in fixed point format. HEL provides conversion macros that should be used to compose such values/coordinates. See Fixed Point macros
