Tile RTS

0-tilerts.md

Things I need to solve:

• Coordinate system
• Collision detection, if any
• Collision shapes
• Physics, if any
• Nudging, if any
• Path-finding
• Map structure

Coordinate system

• Most likely 2D tiles, hex would be prettier but be a real pain to manage.
• Units must be able to occupy multiple tiles.
  • Although is that really necessary?
  • Not really, but it would look too ugly.
  • What if unit tiles were much bigger than map tiles though?
  • That is actually acceptable. Hmm.

Map structure

• Static tiles. Possibly with multiple vertical layers, but that's optional.
• A tile on the map has the same size as a tile on a unit, although they may not be part of the same coordinate system.

Path-finding

• What's the MVP?
