Anyone know where I can find a good isometric tile engine such as what is used in Basilisks Escahlon's games for Blitz3D. It doesn't necessairly have to be an engine, as long as it works with Blitz3D.

There's some really old procedures for isometric tile engines on gamedev.net under their programming links. They're very good and easy to understand.

Yeah, but are they Blitz3d related?

They are not specifically listed as "blitz3d" but they are given in either pseudo code or c code which is pretty easy to translate.

There do appear to be various attempts or at least discussions of this; I did a google search on "site:blitzbasic.com blitz3d isometric" and got some hits. Try it and see if any of those links are helpful (this can be a better way than using the website's own search.)

There was some isometric tiling stuff on the code archives... not a full engine of course, but might be enough to get started with?
