Screen to staggered isometric grid algorithm


I'm working with Kivy and Pytmx, I need to get Grid Tile from Map Coordinates for staggered map.

mymap

My tile size is:

TILE_WIDTH = 256
TILE_HEIGHT = 149

When I used the isometric diamond grid, I calculated it like this:

def screen_to_isometric_grid(cartX, cartY):
    screenx = mh - cartY / (TILE_HEIGHT * SPRITE_SCALING) + cartX / (TILE_WIDTH * SPRITE_SCALING) - mw / 2 - 1 / 2
    screeny = mh - cartY / (TILE_HEIGHT * SPRITE_SCALING) - cartX / (TILE_WIDTH * SPRITE_SCALING) + mw / 2 - 1 / 2
    screenx2 = round(screenx)
    screeny2 = round(screeny)
    return screenx2, screeny2

Now I'm using staggered map and I dont know how to get tile coordinates.

I found algorithm in C++ here enter link description here


Solution

  • def subregion(px, py, r_x, r_y):
    rx = int(r_x)
    ry = int(r_y)
    foo = px - py
    bar = px + py
    if foo < 0 and bar > 1:  # Top
        return [rx, ry]
    elif foo < 0 and bar < 1:  # Left
        if r_y > 0:
            if py > 0.5:
                return [rx - 1, ry + 1]
            return [rx - 1, ry]
        else:
            return None
    elif foo > 0 and bar > 1:  # Right
        if r_y > 0:
            if py > 0.5:
                return [rx, ry + 1]
            return [rx, ry]
        else:
            return None
    elif foo > 0 and bar < 1:  # Bottom
        if r_y < 0:
            return [rx, ry]
        return [rx, ry + 1]
