I know DirectDraw. but I never did make a tilesengine.
Where can I find some code? Im not a directdraw newb.

Actually, the math portion isn't really that hard at all. I had just started with DirectDraw and I wanted to create something interesting with it and while I'd be doing other things, it just sort of came to me how everything would work. One thing I'd suggest is to use linked lists for your maps. I was reading about it somewhere (I can't remember where now), but the point is very valid. It's good for using maps with multiple layers. This way, you only take up the extra memory for an extra layer in the tiles that need it.

One thing I'd like to ask is for the people who've responded to download http://tornsoul.rini.net/tw.zip and try both of the executables and tell me the results on your computers. This would help me in understanding what's going on a bit more.

Avalonx86:

Try to reboot, and see if it works.

On the hard version, there is a tiny black outline on the character, but not on the soft version. Soft runs faster, too.
