Sprite Sizes with Tile sizes

[ThePentiumGuy]

Hi,

 

i have 30x30 sprites

for a heavily tilebased game(RPG), should the tile size be the same as the sprite size?

 

 

thanks

Positioning, pathfinding etc would probably be easier if they were the same size or smaller.

That way a tile is either walkable or not - removes the need to do alot of collision detection just to determine if a route is traversable. Some collision detection will be required to prevent objects moving through the edges of non-passable tiles though.

thanks a lot - i made my tiles 30x30 and it works!

i stored all my tiles into a boolean array (Passable[me.width/30,me.height/30]

and set them to true/false depending on whether they were walkable or not

 

thanks
