Title: Walls between cells. How it realized?
Post by: sidav on November 09, 2012, 08:50:39 pm

Give me please an explanation about "thin walls", i.e. walls between cells on battlescape. How it made in openXcom? How it made in original x-com (if someone knows, of course)? I'm beginner programmer, and very interested in strategic games :)
sorry for my bad english.

Hello,

this gives a good explanation how it is made in both original xcom and openxcom:
https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=MAPS

Internally I called each position in a map a "tile", which can consist out of 4 objects: a floor, a west-wall, a north-wall and an object.
