Drawing The Other Side Of Room

24 May 2010 - 09:09 AM

So like, the room is wrapped. When the player passes through the side of the room, he appears at the opposite side, etc.
Was wondering how to draw the other side of the room close to the edge of the view, so there is no transition.

I was thinking I could draw everything twice, one at x, y and one at room_width+x, room_width+y -- but that wouldn't apply for tiles.
It's a 3d tds, by the way.

Thanks, etc.

Need Help Shading

I made this background with simple coloring, and was hoping if someone could shade it.
I'm not good at shading, so I don't know much about what style I want. Just use the colors as a guide.

Any help is appreciated.

After a long wait it’s time to have a new competition. The theme for the first competition of 2010 will be “Design A HandHeld Game”. We want you to design games using either Game Maker 7 or Game Maker 8 that would be suitable to run on a typical handheld device. That is no keyboard OR MOUSE (edit: sandy, Dec 30th) , a fixed screen size and other fixed hardware limitations.

2. .EXE only…NO ZIP files.
3. Maximum Screen Size 480X272
4. No DLLs or other extension packages can be used.
5. No Installation packages.
6. No use of the registry.
7. Game Controls must use ARROW keys and ONE OTHER KEY (space-bar preferred), additionally P to pause game and escape to quit (where quit can be quit to a final menu) are OK (EDITED by Sandy DEC 31st )
8. Game Maker versions 7 or 8 only
9. All games must be tagged “Competition05” (EDITED by Sandy DEC 31st )
10. 3D is OK, provided it uses standard Game Maker features (EDITED by Sandy DEC 31st )

Sandy has also stated:

You’re free to adapt an existing game if you wish.
