IsoCis is a c++ based system for creating isometric games. The tutorial is based on this and so with just the use of the editor a basic framework of a game can be made and the 'fleshing out' done using the object oriented (or standard C based API if you prefer) library.

The tutorial is split into two parts, the first delivers the following:

  • Introduction to isometric systems
  • Defining a room
  • Defining room links
  • Defining objects
  • Using the basic IsoCis building blocks (such as collapsing blocks, pick-ups, etc)
  • Extending the IsoCis building blocks

The second part is a worked example creating Knight Lore.

 

Because the style is somewhat different to this site, the tutorial is located at www.retrospec.sgn.net/isocis-tutorial/

 

NOTE: This site is not functional yet. The tutorial is about half way through the first part. If you wish to get the tutorial in progress then email me.
