Technically an axonometric projection, most of us know it simply as isometric. This engine basically projects objects in a 3D space onto a 2D plane. It could be used for a board game to change perspective on pieces, or to make an easy psuedo-3D game.

Here are the controls:

Arrow Keys - Camera Movement
WASD - Camera Rotation

Clever stuff, but kind of limited in its usefulness. You really need to be able to rotate/skew a background image - even for a simple board game, you'd still want to have a checkerboard pattern or something.
It's quite do-able using HWA.

Yeah Sketchy you're right. What's HWA though?

It greatly improves performance and also allows you to use pixelshaders (including the "3D shader" which could be useful here).

Thanks a lot. If I'm feeling up to it I'll see if I can improve this.
