Re: how to make a isometric tycoon
Pretty much the bottom line is you would draw the image where you want it to create such games.
I would use a single picturebox as your drawing surface, and then use DrawImage for every object that needs to be drawn based on the area of the game that you can see.
Normally I would start with the top row and work my way to the bottom row by row. I would normally expect each rows object would be drawn from left to right.
But perhaps because of the slanted nature of the tiles, you should actually start with the upper right corner object and then draw the objects following along the diagonal, i.e. the next "row" starting to the left of the previous "row", and moving diagonal down and to the right, allowing taller objects to overlap other objects in a correct pseudo isometric 3D way.
I think each tile position should allow for multiple tiles to be assigned to it in a z-order fashion, with lowest object drawn first, so for instance, you may have a grass tile that needs to be drawn over a number of tiles, so would be the bottom layer for each tile, then other objects could be drawn on the same tiles to add towers or fences, etc. on top of the grass.

DrawImage is a method of the graphics class.
Create a bitmap and a graphics object. Using the graphics object, draw your image to a location on the bitmap. Once all your images are drawn to the bitmap, show the bitmap in the picturebox.

I guess his android game idea that he had over a week ago is out the window, just like VB7.

Re: how to make a isometric tycoon
I assumed that, but it would help the new gaouser if he used more words to explain what he wants to do.
All his posts are as cryptic as possible can be

So the old comment under yours on the download page is just a coincidence?
Anyway, to answer your concern there, that's if you haven't already read it in your other thread I posted to, your old laptop's GPU is too weak to run most graphic intense programs made within the last 10 years.

So you flipped on VB7 again while sitting on a Turkey at night?
I'm sure you can afford a computer chair, or is there only animals in your area?
