I got bored, so I decided to start a 2d rts.
So far, its really only a scrollable tile map with 1 movable unit.

2d is harder than 3d...
I started to write one in DBC, i made a scrollable map with big sprites /=not tile map/, unit selection, buildings, fog of war, but I couldn't make a good pathfinding, and the fog of war ate 10 fps (in 800*600 the speed was 30 fps without FOW.) It was still an engine, not a playable rts. Then I stadted to rewrite it in dbpro, I made a new animation system /the animated sprite commands are unuseable/, but I had problems with the collision... (not pixel-perfect)

(Sorry for my bad English)

Looks nice, is that your frame rate in the upper left hand corner?

Has anyone else successfully made a 2D RTS in DB? Just wondering...

There was a 2D version of the Last Worldwar. It had nice graphics and some bugs. It was an unfinished but playable demo game. I have the latest demo - 2002 december (and the other two demos . I'll upload it if you want.

My game (called "Arcvonal") was an unfinished engine, it was much better than the LWW engine but it had no graphics, music and feeling. (the units were "stolen" from the LWW).

the number is the frame rate. So far, it hasn't really been harder. I just had to think a little differently about things, such as a scrollable map.(which i posted awhile back in code snippets) Though Sync is probably right about running into speed issues. Figure one more layer for FOW, and another layer for containing building structures and characters. For pathfinding, I'm planning on using IanM's library. Worked pretty well in my 3d version, and its easy to implement.

project cancelled. Instead of making a warcraft clone, I've decided to use what i got to make a Garrison clone from the Amiga. Now that I have a new monitor, I can play the game again and its stuck on my brain.
