Hi, I am new here I wanted to ask you what a good tutorial is to begin with isometric plane. I know a bit of Java and I want to try to make an isometric plane for start, plus a moveable person on this plane. quite simple I think, maybe later I will add walls and obstacles. Which of the many articles is good to learn the basics of isometric programming, and which of you guys can give me a push in the right direction.

I wouldnt suggest using Java to program a game, unless your making a web game and in which case you would need Alot more experience then you currently have (If you had that experience you wouldnt have just asked that question, hehe). So I am going to recommend you learn either C++ or VB. Either one will do it for you.

P.S. Once you know C++ go to here http://www.gamedev.net/reference/list.asp?categoryid=44

Ehm.. It has to be in Java, cause it''s little web game with an Isometric view.

Ok, I''m not that experienced with Java, but to make the plane and the person will be a good start to learn something.

Isn''t theren a source or psuedo code of object oriented isometric programming out there ?

come to the java forum, since most (maybe all) java games are 2d you''ll get plenty of iso talk.
