vb 6, need some input on makin a RTS game
ok im thinking about making a RTS game (age of empries type thing) and its not gonna be in dx cuz im still learning it (i can make a 3d square!! woohoo!!! :P)
i have a couple quetions, first
how would i create the map that would show the user where there screen is, and how would i get the screen synchronized w/ the map location... is there a way to display on the screen only what is being seen instead of a 200 meg image or something that takes 10 mins when u move the mouse cuz its so slow... should i use some sort of back buffer like dx does? i hope u get wut im trying to say...
the second questions is
in a RTS game, u make a building, and u put it somewhere
how would i create an object in runtime and place it at a point on the map, and make it still clickable (have properties)... i have some ideas but they are very dumb, lol
thx in advance and srry bout the poor wording
