There are different ways to create a grid, the most common way is this:

the numbers are the position in the multidimensional array, i added colors to let you c how you can add them without troubles.

array =
[[[‘blue’],[‘green’],[‘blue’]],
[[‘green’],[‘blue’],[‘green’]],
[[‘red’],[‘blue’],[‘red’]]];

1 tile = [‘color’];
becouse its an array, you can add more info: [‘color’,‘height’,‘roloverInfo’]
to get the info: array[Y][0], returns blue, green or red.
this way, you can join different tiles with properties,

there’s another way to do isometric:

the array you get is:

array =
[[[‘blank’],[‘blue’],[‘blank’]],
[[‘green’],[‘green’],[‘blank’]],
[[‘red’],[‘blue’],[‘blue’]],
[[‘green’],[‘green’],[‘blank’]],
[[‘blank’],[‘red’],[‘blank’]]];

same way, only a different wayof building…

dont have the formula’s to possition the tiles right now, ill be back in a few houres with them, hope you got anough info about, HOW TO… :wink:

(btw, there’s a tutorial here on kirupa somewhere about isometric)
