5. Drawing A Map
Goal
Draw a map, any map, not necessarily a map based on a model.
Introduction
Before we introduce the map model, we first need to see how we can render it. This will give us hints on what data our model needs to have, as well as give us an idea on how to formulate the abstraction layers between the view and the model.
Tileset
Let's make a tileset image that will be used to draw tiles.
- Ground squares
- Rock squares
- Water squares
Textures
Let's start by loading a texture and putting it on the square we have.
Multiple Squares
Let's draw multiple squares with the same texture.
Tiles
Let's draw multiple squares, each with a different tile.
Random Map
Let's draw hundreds of squares, each with a random tile.
Performance
Let's make the drawing routing very, very fast.
