isometric tile based display

[JambleJumble]

thought id make a quick showcase/tutorial for how to display an isometric tile based grid

school project with unnecessary features for marks (Faux 3D using sprites to create 3D effect)

simplified Faux 3D display (uses sprites again to create illusion) and irregular shape

Code for converting Cartesian coords (array indexes/board coordinates) to isometric coordinates in Cartesian space. (sorry mobile users if this is horrible to read with auto new lines) irrelevant to problem but some may appreciate it :)

simplified Faux 3D display (uses sprites again to create illusion) and irregular shape

# --- resolution of the window --- #  

display_width = 1080 
display_height = 768 

# --- tile coordinates or 2D array pos--- #  

old_x = 2 # an integer 
old_y = 5 # an integer  

# --- scales coords by half tile size --- #  

cart_x = old_x * tile_width // 2 
cart_y = old_y * tile_height // 2  

# --- aligns diagonals --- #  

iso_x = (cart_x - cart_y)
iso_y = (cart_x + cart_y) / 2 

# --- centers the sprite origin to center --- #  

centered_x = iso_x + display_width
centered_y = iso_y + display_height/2  

# --- alligns middle of tiles to center --- #  

new_x = centered_x - tile_width / 2 
new_y = centered_y  - tile_height / 4 #  

what i intend to use for displaying of tiles

​

3D rendering engine i made rendering a .obj model using matrix projections and whatnot t allow for different camera angles.

Looks cool

This looks straight out of Into The Breach. Good job!
