hello.
For around two months i have been researching and paper-based prototyping a
java program i wish to create using jbuilder. I have a good few articles,source code examples,forum browsing,tutorials but i am having great difficulty actually getting anything to work.
I wish to create a gui that contains an area for a box of 20x20 tiles. I believe i have to use "int width height" etc. I wish to assign values to each tile (eg an identifying name 1 - 400 (tile1,tile2 etc), 5 sets of values 1 - 100, an image to represent each tile eg green/blue). On top i wish to place buildings/roads based on the 5 values. I believe to so this i use "vector nodes". Please note it is much more complicated than i am explaining but i really just need to be able to make a start so i can do the rest my self.
Can anyone direct me or help me on creating a basic grid, with each tile having a random value (1-100 - called value1), with value1 determining the color of each tile (eg if value1 > 50 then color.red)?
I am quite frustrated at having
alot of information (i can post what i have/where i have looked if necessary) but not being able to start.
thanks in advance and i hope someone can help,
tim.
