Discussion / Re: Developing a Game: How not to fail (10 tips)

« on: April 07, 2006, 10:31:54 am »

planning is important, there's been too many teams i've worked with where no planning was done beforehand
it's also good to have a backup plan if something goes wrong or to prevent something from going wrong (losing data, people not doing things on time, people quiting etc.)
having it all down on paper makes a big difference and it's also helpful to help new team members get filled in on what's to be done

Discussion / Re: Isometrics

« on: April 05, 2006, 03:01:05 pm »

Can someone please explain to mean why the angle of isometrix is 25.565 instead of 30. Because by my logic the sin of a 2x1 triangle (sin(1/2)) is 30. And I don't see why it should be 25.565 even though it is.

This is a good question, perhaps it just looks better like that? Im not sure.

yeah your right

An traditional Isometric view is based on an angle of 30 degrees, however due to the nature of Computer Monitors 30 degrees gives a messy and uneven line when displayed on a screen. Pixelart uses an angle of roughly 25.565 degrees. Don't worry about the sudden appearance of mathematics you don't really need to concern yourself with all these numbers.
