Ryvius Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hi, basically I just want everyone's opinion on preferred movement type.Please and thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkro1 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Where is the "I'm not familiar with Tile-Based, but I'd like to see it in action." option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryvius Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Everyone that uses this forum has used/uses Eclipse. Therefore they have seen tile-based in action, thus there is no point for that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheatking Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Is it pixel movement with pixel collision or Is it pixel mvement with tile collision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryvius Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Not 100% what you mean by that, but I'm pretty sure its Pixel-Based movement with tile based collision. Pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryvius Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Again, I'm not 100% sure on the differences. But after "growing up" on pixel based, it makes tile based look/feel like trash, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheatking Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The difference is whether or not a whole tile is blocked… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffSventora Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well even with tile based blocking, pixel movement gives a lot more freedom within the walkable area. I think it depends on the game. Tibia does a great job of using tile based movement but there are other games with pixel based movement that are also good. Just comes down to how well you incorporate either of them. Anyone could use tile based or pixel and make it horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 @Erwin:> (Rusher *cough*)Son, I've seen more Tile-Based Movement than you have seen days go by. And while you don't see me posting stuff about 2D games, I am working on one. Just because people talk about different things in this forum doesn't mean they aren't spending their time on Game Development.*Insert emoticon here, so he doesn't think I'm scolding him*As for this discussion, I don't really mind which movement is being used as long as it looks nice and dandy and doesn't require you to master a whole new set of controls. If you can't do one of them, you're better off trying the other one, seeing that you'll probably ruin the movement if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helladen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Pixel movement is more real-time, which requires a lot of interpolation. Pixel movement is much more smooth than tile-based movement, so it makes other players see what is going on more often rather than having the client automate the movement to the other tile. Although, this is not that easy to implement and should not be added unless you are a very experienced programmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryvius Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I say this because I have the source to a fully programmed game (although a bit buggy) that has amazing, smooth pixel based movement. I was considering releasing it, or possibly charging small sums of cash ($5-$10) for it. Might be free though, I dunno. Would that even be allowed?

Helladen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 If you coded it yourself. Selling other people's work on the other hand is just like stealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryvius Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I coded a large majority of it myself. This is not community code like Eclipse. I have the rights to do with it what I please. I would never just sell someone else's code without putting any work into it, or without having the rights to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtaker26 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 When you say pixel based movement I understand what you mean but it should be pixel by pixel movement, instead you should make it so character moves in decimals, in other words the game is still based on tiles of 32x32 pixels but they can move to say tile 2.2 which means they are on .2 of the tile but still off of it, rendering things pixel by pixel is very complex and could take up some memory and server band width, not to mention it could throw your animations off.
