Re: [pygame] Working with maps

[Miguel Bejar <miguel.bejar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the same problem as the OP, I need to find a way to have a map with irregular shapes and have the exhibit different behaviors depending on user input. I don't know what the term for that is so I haven't been able to start doing any research as to how to go about it.

One simple idea would be to color each region a different color, and when a click is captured, check what color is at that position. This is limited however, as each region would have to have a unique color.

Hey,

I'd like to work with irregular formed geometric shapes like those in of
country maps in pygame.

I want to do the following:
"Divide" a country map into its states and provinces and make each of them
"click-able", where the map could be an image (*.png) or maybe a vector graphic
(*.svg).

The result should be:
A game where to guess and click the name of the state and province on a map.

Observations:
It would be quite difficult to assign each state/province fixed coordinates as
those are irregular geometric shapes.

Any ideas, pointers to other projects or suggestions?
