FOW and Minimap Ideas

[Schoppy0384]

Hi,

 

I am working on a simple RTS Game.

 

Right now I think about how I could best implement a minimap.

And secondly, the Fog of War.

 

Maybe someone has done it before something.

 

I'm grateful for all the tips.

Minimap:

 

how you generate your map? if you use a .raw I would use the .raw to generate the minimap so you can calculate playerpositions on the map

 

Fog of War:

every unit should have a view/attack radius. dont draw what is not in the viewradius. for the fog itsself you can use a shader or just some kind of light. its up to you how it should look like.

Here's some fog code:

And you'd use the 2D drawing functions to draw your minimap:
