Snap To Grid Tool | Coding a 2D Game Engine in Java #25
Join the Discord: / discord
In this episode, I explain how to create a snap to grid tool. This consists of drawing a grid that objects will be snapped to, and then snapping any object currently being held to the grid position. I explain how we can achieve this effect by using integer division to emulate the object "snapping" to a certain position. I also describe how to use our debug drawing facilities to draw a grid that is based on the cameras position in the world.
