Do you actually notice the perspective 3D effect is has when you go up and down. The overhead view changes slightly.

yes. im guessing the the image(s) are being rotated and skewed around the ball for the desired perspective. notice how the video didnt show any collisions. like i said, there's probably nothing isometric about it except for the visuals.

@sketchy. trig and vectors.. they're like best friends.

Sorry everyone - disregard my previous comment.
I was thinking the movement was isometric (eg. right arrow key = tilt down & right), but it's not. And yes, it does "skew" (scale?) the Y-axis, which I failed to notice before.

That could make things awkward - not sure how you'd make the ball roll along a wall?

youre a genius sketchy.

like you said. you would just use vector movements on a normal x, y coordinate system. which means all collisions, movement, math, etc will have to be done on the normal x, y then translated to the isometric 120degree perspective
Image

then also, after that, just manipulate the ball (or other objects moving on the x, y plane) with the same trig that's rotating and skewing the background.

right? .

i've already done the x, y to iso translations before when i was working on a isometric engine in c++.

if someone can get a good movement done its just a matter of translating and rendering it properly.
