25Isometric PHP

Isometric PHP

GD and PHP make a great couple and when used properly they can produce some fantastic results. Purely as an experiment to see how well it would work I’ve been playing with some isometric graphics in PHP. It’s not much but I’ve just created the following isometric scene.

It’s quite simple really; a grid made up of diamonds pieced together to form the grid lines. Then, another simple isometric box shape placed somewhere in the middle. With this approach each grid section can be individually changed – this means that if enough time was spent it would be possible (and not all that difficult) to create a PHP + GD script which would generate random landscapes or cities. I quite like that idea, if only I had the time.

Hi Michael, I’m very interessed on isometry in php, so I saw your post about Isometric PHP and I would like to know if you can send me the code, I’m just a starter.
