Cytopia - A free, opensource city building game
Posted: 03 May 2018, 06:27
Hi there,
I've started working on an, yet unnamed, open source, SDL2 based isometric engine for a simcity 2000 clone game two weeks ago. The goal is to create a free SC2K like City building simulator, with own sprites, so there won't be any copyright hassle. Right now i'm using a few sc2k sprites, but i'll draw my own when the basic engine is done.
So far, i can draw a X by X tilemap, access the tiles iso coordinates, draw different layers, zoom and reposition the camera. I'm currently working on terrain editing, which is not yet fully done but can be seen on my youtube channel.
Here is a video of my engine:

And the link to my github page:
https://github.com/JimmySnails/IsometricEngine
The code still needs a lot of refactoring and i have quite the todolist (like framelimiting, overhaul of the sprite class and stuff).
I'm looking for a few devs who want to join me!
Regards,
Chris
