I finally got around to implementing MiniMaps for my games. To be honest I could never quite figure out how to do it but its been bugging me so I made a big push to get it done.
Whilst I was surrounding myself in a glow of self-appreciation my wife immediately asked “So if I click on the minimap then the screen will scroll to that location?”. Uhmm no. Ok so not quite done yet…
Below are comparisons for 4 of my games. These are all 40 times smaller than the actual game. The white rectangle shows what you can see on a 1920*1080 monitor. If you click on the minimap in the game nothing happens – that’s a project for another day…
Fall of France
Iwo Jima
Battle for Korsun
Battle for Picketts Mill
