    <blockquote> <p>It's now in it's own place and is only called when the player actually moves.</p> </blockquote> <p>Yay!</p> <blockquote> <p>I was just asking if there was a better way than using four <code>for</code>'s.</p> </blockquote> <p>Here's my suggestion:</p> <ol> <li>Set the lower-left to the player's location minus 15. <pre>ll.x = [player_ location].x - 15.0; ll.y = [player_ location].y - 15.0;</pre></li> <li>Make sure that it does not exceed the bounds of the view. <pre>if (ll.x &lt; 0.0) ll.x = 0.0; if (ll.y &lt; 0.0) ll.y = 0.0; if (ll.x &gt; [currentMap_ width] - 30.0) ll.x = [currentMap_ width] - 30.0; if (ll.y &gt; [currentMap_ height] - 30.0) ll.y = [currentMap_ height] - 30.0;</pre></li> <li>Multiply by your tile size and set as the new bounds origin. location.x = ll.x * 20.0; location.y = ll.y * 20.0; [self setBoundsOrigin: location];</li> </ol> <p>I also suggest that you not hard-code the tile size and player sight range.</p> <p>For the tile size, you may prefer to give your view a couple of properties expressing width and height in tiles, then using the CTM to scale to <code>(widthInPoints / widthInTiles), (heightInPoints / heightInTiles)</code>. Then you can let the user resize your window to change the tile size.</p> <p>For the player's sight range (currently 30 tiles square), you may want to make this a property of the player, so that it can change with skill stats, items equipped, and the effects of potions, monster attacks, and wraths of the gods. One caveat: If the player's sight range can become longer than the game window will fit (especially vertically), you'll want to add a check for that to the above code, and handle it by putting the player dead-center and possibly zooming out.</p>

    1. COI'm really not looking to make the window resizable. To be blunt I hate all this floppy windowed bullshit resize this and that. It's the size I want it to be and it's going to stay that way. The code is in place though, like I said I've just now gotten around to smoothing things out, and both the sight radius and the cell width/height are stored where they should be (player and map, respectively). The player's sight radius is set to three. If you can't see it, you only see a faded out remembered version of what you saw there last.

    2. COI was wondering where you got the idea it was hardcoded and I see now. I take care to test everything as simply as I can, to make sure I'm not making any mistakes. I do however like your idea for handling it, and I actually know how to make that all one condition, which is lovely. As far as the sight-square goes, I hate it, and you should be expecting a few posts from me soon about some pretty serious algorithm questions. It's much more complex than you would expect it to be.

    3. COOn a third and final thought, once everything else is where I'd like it to be, I'll be setting up the view so that when it is able to be resized, it will display more tiles instead of changing the size. I'm going to be offering a tiled version like this, and a character version like any other roguelike.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
