Alright, giving the landscape some natural feeling by applying colors to the tiles. This simply fits into the dynamic drawing of tiles by using a fill. The shading here will be done with static colors instead of shadow calculation.

I know this may look like a call to clone. But the intention of this post is more like look and learn. Once you can do the same, make it better. We’ll have a look at Desktop Tower Defence and try to understand the basic methods of that game.
This post will cover the creation of the square grid in different colors and a method to obtain the actual position to build a tower.

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.
