Isometric tiled map in array [SOLVED]

Hi.

My goal is to create an isometric map based on the array. I`ve got no problems with basic non-isometric tiled maps, but isometric one is harder.

The result of non-isometric code

for isometric tiles is

Quite psychedelic and interesting, but not what i need now. :)

If i was working on tiled map without arrays, the additional variable for spawning even/uneven rows could be the best decision. In my situation it is impossible or i have a lack of knowledge.

That`s where i need some help: how to spawn the proper isometric tiled map with array?

And the problem is solved! :)

P.S. Any optimization ideas?

That's a lot of tiles.

Might think about using the tiled background object, unless you're planning on having tiles clickable.

Tiled supports isometric maps if you didn't know.

Paste 'em!

Tiles are made in this way to store information about the world (resource nodes and other stuff), so tiled background is not the decision (at least if i got you right).

And yes, that`s really a lot of tiles. But i can generate the world once and than just load it from JSON by parts (for example only 2 "screens" around the player`s line of sight).

MadFactory, you mean soft named "Tiled"? I can check it out but can i generate a random world in it?
