Isometric map in Delphi FMX

To create an isometric map in Delphi FMX, you will need to use the appropriate graphical techniques and APIs provided by the framework. This will involve transforming and rendering the map’s elements in an isometric projection, and handling user input and interaction with the map.

Here is an example of how you might approach creating an isometric map in Delphi FMX:

First, create a new Delphi FMX project and add a form to the project. This will be the main window for your map.
Next, design the layout and content of your map. This could involve creating a grid of tiles, each with a different color or texture, to represent the terrain and objects on the map. You can use the visual design tools provided by Delphi FMX to layout and style the elements on the map.
Add code to handle user input and interaction with the map. This could involve creating event handlers for mouse and keyboard events, and using those handlers to update the map and respond to user actions. For example, you could create a keyboard event handler that moves the camera on the map in response to the arrow keys.
Add code to transform and render the map’s elements in an isometric projection. This will involve using the drawing and animation APIs provided by Delphi FMX to create and update the map’s visuals, and using the appropriate mathematical transformations to project the map elements onto the isometric plane. For example, you could create a function that takes a two-dimensional grid of tiles and transforms them into an isometric view.
Finally, test and debug your map to ensure that it is working as intended. This could involve running the map and manually testing its functionality, or using the debugging tools provided by Delphi FMX to identify and fix any problems.
This is just one example of how you could create an isometric map in Delphi FMX. There are many other possibilities and potential features that you could add to your map, depending on your specific requirements and goals. I hope this information is helpful as you begin to explore the use of Delphi FMX for creating isometric maps.
