Square or Diamond Tiles

[Jeremy Putnam]

Have any of you worked on an Isometric tile engine before? I've heard
you can either create tiles as squares or as diamonds with either a
mask or with transparency. What have you worked with before?

I've worked on an isometric tile engine before, but it was a long time
ago. The math is pretty basic. And since pygame supports transparency,
I'd recommend it over masking.

Cool, thanks Robert. I'll stick to building the tiles like I've been
doing then.

Well don't make anything as yet - everything has to be made in the week's time!
I have also done isometric engine - pretty simple, but also tend to get slow/bloated very quickly if you are not careful :S
