RE: [Rails-devel] Tiles are working... sorta.

[Brett L. <wak...@ea...>]

Sounds fine by me.  I hope seeing the fully drawn game maps is at least a little inspiring. ;-)

I've added an ImageLoader class so that we only load tile images once rather than reread every file for every repaint.   Currently it's instantiated in HexMap, but I'm not completely certain it will be able to stay there. It might need to move to MapManager or some other place.

I've added a BufferedImage and AffineTransform to GUIHex. This is where we'll control the image's rotation and scaling.

I've mentioned previously that I've added a Paint() method to GUIEWHex that extends the Paint() method in GUIHex.  This will contain the hard-coded numbers for rotation and scaling.

That I had planned to do when tiles would be displayable:
trying out the right rotation codes by trial and error (!).
So now is the time to start working on that.

No, Tiles.xml is not read yet. But I think this file has the necessary
ingredients to create an internal representation of each tile's
nodes and tracks in terms of objects and relations between objects
(although I have some vague ideas on how it could be done).

I'll look at what you have now tomorrow, maybe it inspires me to
something....

Erik.
