Title: define area like defender of the crown
Post by: rednova on February 11, 2015, 02:21:07 AM

Dear Amos Friends:

I want to make a strategy amos game in amiga. I would like to make a map with different countries,
and then, like in defender of the crown, to be able to as you move the mouse thru a defined area,
be able to pick the right country. Is it possible to do this in amospro ?  I have both v 1 and v2 amospro.
Please help me !!!

This is done using discrete math.  It is called graph theory.

The way it works is to define an "arc" between each adjacent border.  If there is a cost difference that will be the "weight" of each arc.

To be able to highlight the countries individually you'll need to define each one as a bob.  You can use collision detection to figure out which the mouse is over.

Hi:
Your suggestion is excellent and I believe I can do it now.
Great idea to make each country as a bob and then use collision detection to know which
is which. Thank you !!!
