  1. Issue with tiles in isometric view not lining up

    I'm trying to create an isometric tile view. I've been doing some reading online about it, and after implementing what I read into code, it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Swift in Spritekit....
  2. Re: Tower defence game logic for detecting enemies in tower's radius

    You're correct about how the class is set up. I wasn't able to follow what you were saying about the cache, but I've got code that is working quite well presently.

    The new method I've created...
  3. Re: Tower defence game logic for detecting enemies in tower's radius

    Thanks for your reply,

    Sorry if my post wasn't entirely clear. I am aware that I would have an array under each tile as in your example (TowersCoveringThisTile) and that I would update this when a...
  4. Re: Tower defence game logic for detecting enemies in tower's radius

    I can see that this wouldn't loop through towers that...
  6. Tower defence game logic for detecting enemies in tower's radius

    In short, I'm making a tower defence game. I'm getting performance issues due to the way I'm checking if enemies are in range of the tower's radius.
    I'm wondering if there's a better way than what...

  9. Generating rectangles around a centre point in a spiral starting from the centre

    Ehh, it's been a while since I've been on VBForums. Feels a little nostalgic :bigyello:

    Are there animation blocks in VB?

    Hey,

    Re: So... do you like the Nexus 7...?

    That's true, but it could yield even less battery life than that. Perhaps even as little as two hours.
