RectMapLayer example?

[Mathias Roth]

Hey, cocos2d seems quite promising, but the doc's are a bit poor :<...
Is there any example of RectMapLayer usage available, if possible with
explanation?

[Lucio Torre]

There is an example here:
http://los-cocos.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/test/test_tiles.py

The code is very well documented, you can take a look here:
http://los-cocos.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cocos/tiles.py
or here:
http://cocos2d.org/doc/api/cocos.tiles-module.html

Hm, I still don't quite get it, could you whip up a quick example
where you can move one sprite from tile to tile? (Similar to the
fights in Heroes of Might and Magic 3
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/tigris/entertopia.gif) , but
with rect tiles)

Thanks,
mots

Take the test_tiles.py example, and change the movement of the car so
it just moves from tile center to tile center. This has nothing to do
with tile maps.

Hm, I'm still a bit confused... Let's say I want to randomly generate
my map and not load anything from xml... How would I construct a layer
(and which one do I need) and make let's say the cell at the position
[5][3] have a certain tile as background?

Sorry if I'm talking nonsense, but I'm new to cocos and the tutorial
doesn't really cover this :<

Im not sure how to do that. Maybe generate a random xml? :)

richard?

can't you pass in a 2d list/array of cell objects to the constructor
of the rect map?
and access them like my_map.cells[i][j] later?

I haven't used tile maps but it looks like it to me:
__init__(self, id, tw, th, cells, origin=None)
