Syntax Question for Tile-Based Engine

Nazrix · 2000-04-20T14:57:35

I have a question about a tile-based game I'm working on. Actually it's the tile engine in Tricks of The Windows Game Programming Gurus. It's really a syntax question more than anything else. He initializes the world with this code. char *world[21]= { "111111111111111111111111111111", "100000000000000000000000000001", "100002222220000000000000077701", "100002222223333333333000077701", "100002222227777777773000070001", "100002222227777777773000070001", "100000000377777777773000070001", "107777700377777777773000070001", "177777770377777777773000770001", "107777700377777777773007700001", "100777770377777777773777000001", "100000707377777777773000000001", "100007777377777777773000000001", "100000000302222777773000000001", "100000000332222777773000000001", "100000000002222333333000000001", "100000666666666666666666600001", "100000800000000000000000800001", "100000800000000000000000800001", "100000000000000000000000000001", "111111111111111111111111111111", }; I was wondering how I would change the world later on in the code...like if you walk off of this map and I want to load the next set of tiles. I can't get the syntax right. I'm a little rusty on pointers. So, I just want to do something like world[21]={212121212...}; to load the new set of tiles. Just not sure about syntax... Thanks in advance... Edited by - Nazrix on 4/18/00 1:03:07 PM Edited by - Nazrix on 6/6/00 12:19:15 PM

Shameless Plug Init........

The isometric\tile section at Gamedev has the source to a tile editor\scrolling world! It''s called Tiled Based Gold or something. The map is a 2d array saved in a binary file.

Deallocating Plug...........
