This is kind of an experiment with a hexagonal map. I just had a look at “The Settlers”. Great game. Alright, the hexmap (map made of hexagonal tiles) can be described by nodes arranged in a triangular fashion.

In this part the adjacent cells of the acual node are called. This can get handy if we want to implement some kind of pathfinding algorithm. The base for this code is part 2.2. See part 1 for the creation of the basic grid.

This part deals with similar interaction as part 2.1 without the masses of EventListeners. See part 1 for the creation of the basic grid.

Now it’s time to add some interaction to the grid made in part 1. For that purpose simple MouseEvents for movement and click will be sufficient. As indication we will change the color of the relevant tile.

Comments Off on Grid based games – Part 2.1: The basic grid with interaction
There are a lot of games based on different kinds of grids: Real Time Strategy (RTS) or round based Role Play Games (RPG) and Tower Defence (TD) games as well as Top-Down-Shooters and vertical scrolling Jump&Runs. One could use grids for tactical board games as well.
In the grid we are going to create, each tile consists of two parts, an Object() for the node and a MovieClip() for the graphic. The presented code is timeline and can thus be copied into the actions panel. This way it can be used for practicing purposes fast. For a game I would rather create and sort the code in classes.

This is now a less frustrating sequel. Less frustrating because I did not implement instant losing in the easy mode. Well, some players already commented on the game being too hard or too easy. Seems like mission completed! I did reuse a lot of code and stuff from the first game, thus development should have been fast. It wasn’t.

The fastest game I’ve ever made (including the time of despair about lack of talent) for mochimedia’s January contest. Uhh, graphics are a horrible thing. It would be easier it every object had a clearly defined function. Anyway, that game definitly holds some opportunities and a sequel should definitely follow. Maybe I should get an artist on board of the team.

And the next API integration post. The problem of the previous version was that the swf was not capable of playing as a standalone. This is now solved via flash.system.Capabilities.
