I'm trying to make a tile based RPG with pyglet but I'm a bit stuck I plan to have a text file from which it would read the tile positions and other details from

e.g.

[map]

level = +++++
+-----+
+-----+
+++++

I was using configparser to turn this into a list of rows:
[source lang="python"]self.map = parser.get("map","level").split("\n")[/source]


But I'm not sure where to go from there :/ What I want to do is have each symbol represent a tile (grass = - etc.) and be displayed on the screen.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

A good start for this would be to load all textures into a dictionary where the key is a symbol.
An example of this is:
{
"-": grassImage,
...
}

and then loop through your map and draw based on the tile location:
[source lang="python"]tileMapping = { "-": grassTexture, #preloaded ...}TILE_SIZE = 16 # for examplexCoord = 0yCoord = 0Map = ["-----"] # Preloaded mapfor row in Map: xCoord = 0 for tile in row: tileTexture = tileMapping[tile] x = xCoord * TILE_SIZE y = yCoord * TILE_SIZE # Draw Tile Texture Here at x,y xCoord += 1 yCoord += 1[/source]

Hope this helps
