Conclusion

This is my first article for GameDev.net and I plan to write more on the future. I’ll be happy if this article helps anyone who’s having trouble with these tiling methods or is new to DirectX. If something’s wrong with the article, or you want to say you liked it (or hated it), please email me at lpsoftware@home.com. Also, if the article helped to create a game, please tell me.

The next article

The next article will be building on this one and will possibly include scrolling with bigger worlds, clipping the tiles, collision detection, and animated tiles.
