Do you know any VB iso Engine? @++

I made one but the old version is extremely crappy... I''m re-writing it for DirectX now. Well, actually, I''m working on the technical document for it, but after that''s done it shouldn''t take too long.

It''s suitable for (and was actually made for) uneven terrain, supports up to 8 different terrain textures and can make soft transitions from them. Also, it can not only draw sprites but render 3D models in a pseudo-3D view (orthogonal/isometric).

It''ll support mouse and keyboard input (including click detection on the map, etc.)

Most of this is already done, I just have to
a) port it to D3D/DI 8.0
b) stick it into a nicer and more usable framework... It''s very messy at the moment

Obviously, this kind of thing is probably overkill for beginners and small projects but it definitely *will* work even without different altitudes, etc.

Whoever is interested in it will have to wait another 2-3 months or maybe more until it''s done, sorry.

And I don''t know anything about other engines...
