... have a screenshot of what i am staring at.
It's my creation, except the character.

I should actually make a small city out of my building blocks,
so i can create a map i can use in my code.

The program is Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net), which i keep using for years now.


I have no idea if the image speaks for itself.

Bonus points if you recognize the character, but that's hard.
Hint: She's walking.

I've acknowledged that I am slow today. But I'm utterly not understanding.

Um...it doesn't.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Thanks guys.

I posted this to pull me out of my staring and came up with better colors.

It's an isometric game. I already put quite some code into it
and watching 20000+ pixel people march along is cool ..............................

... but i need a city, where they can march ...

... and that's why i'm stuck.


The colors. It's always the colors. *sighs*

Is it the girl from those chrome mudflaps on many American articulated lorries ?


Also, for generating city streetmaps, there's a few free utilities on the internet, might be helpful to get some ideas?

Just the facts.

No, it's from a 1993 game. (hint)

Thank you for your advice !

Please know that I haven't seriously coded in many years,.

What i imagine could be done in a few day, but i'm having serious issues with getting something done.
(coders block for years, with only two short pauses)


Regarding the cities ... i will have another look at city building tools,
maybe something has improved in the last year. (i've looked them up before)

I doubt, though, that they can help me, because most of the graphics and maps will be created at runtime.
That's pretty easy to do and saves much more time compared to using tools and having
to design everything by myself.

(hahaha i just realised i sound like the typical noob who believes it's "CreateGame()")
(but believe me, i'm not :)
