Well, it looks like I’m probably out… Tried something new, underestimated the challenge, and it didn’t really work out… my attempt at something isometric (2D, no z-buffer) has failed, after spending the whole afternoon trying to sort my depth sorting…<\/p>\n

Whilst depth-sorting a grid of isometric tiles is trivial – adding in objects that can move smoothly around the map, well, it’s not exactly simple!…<\/p>\n

Will keep hacking away at it for another hour or so, see if I can figure out a ‘good enough’ alternative – but I’ve wasted a big chunk of the day on it now, can’t see much hope of recovering from this and finishing something<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2010 12:14 pm","title":"Isometric Failure"}
