How to 'move' viewport across larger area
( Also posted to Java Programming - I erroneously posted this there instead of here - Sorry for the duplication)
Hi,
Small problem I have with regard to having a large 'game world' (such as 5000x5000 pixels), in that I have no idea how to tackle it.
I took a look at the Graphics2D translate method, and although it seems to do what I need, I can't seem to get the clipping rectangle to the same position. I've probably overlooked something really simple - but to be honest I've spent so long looking at the screen now I wouldn't notice anyway!
If anyone has tried this sort of thing in Java before - I'm trying to have my 'craft' stay in the centre of the screen, while the 'map' moves as I do - I'd be really grateful for any advice.
In the meantime, I'll still try searching the forums (although no luck yet), and if I suss it out I'll post a reply to this message.
Cheers,
Tony
