A thought for AGS?

[Dan2552]

i was thinking maybe having a "room drawing thing" where you can import tiles and just draw it with them? this would be a fantastic feature for AGS.

unless someone can tell me of any software which can do this and just save it as a picture for ags to import?


ps. i didn't know where to post this so i put it here

I'm not planning on adding any image-drawing facilities to AGS - the simple reason being, there are plenty of programs out there which can do it already. I'm sure there's an application that can do what you're after.

Is this what you're looking for?

Actually you could import all tiles in the sprite manager, then use RawDrawImage to put them on a black screen according to the layout specified in an array. A bit impractical but possible. I'm confident it's possible to write Pacman or Boulderdash in AGS if necessary.

Yeah, it's difinitely possible to build tiled backgrounds in AGS (as Moose Wars proved). But if you're going to spend all that time coding, you might as well just write your own game engine..

Been there, done that
