Sorry for the newbie question, but I just wanted to know...

I have a demo that loads my tileset of 32X32 tiles. The data array supports only 10 tiles (0-9), and I was wondering how I could load a full tileset of 100 or more tiles. The array goes something like this:
char *world[21] =
{
"111111111111111111111111111111",
"100000000000000000000000000001",
"100002222220000000000000077701",
"100002222223333333333000077701",
"100002222227777777773000070001",
"100002222227777777773000070001",
"100000000377777777773000070001",
"107777700377777777773000070001",
"177777770377777777773000770001",
"107777700377777777773007700001",
"100777770377777777773777000001",
"100000707377777777773000000001",
"100007777377777777773000000001",
"100000000302222777773000000001",
"100000000332222777773000000001",
"100000000002222333333000000001",
"100000666666666666666666600001",
"100000800000000000000000800001",
"100000800000000000000000800001",
"100000000000000000000000000001",
"111111111111111111111111111111",
};
(This is a data structure from a different source file, but my code is exactly the same, just bigger.) Would I just create a 2 dimensional array and fill in the index numbers?
something like:
char *world [30][21] =
{
{0,21,22,0,...},
{24,9,37,0,...},
.
.
.
}; and so on?
or am I doing this totally wrong? or should I not be asking this? :o)
Instead of using an array of strings, try using a double array of chars, but use their value instead. For instance:
char world[5][5] =
{
{1,1,1,1,1},
{1,0,0,0,1},
{20,0,100,0,90},
{1,0,0,0,1},
{1,1,1,1,1}
};
Then you can have your tiles in another array:
Tile allTiles[256];
And access tile (4, 3) using:
allTiles[world[3][4]];
As a final note, the best way to create tiled maps is to load the data from files, but I can see using predefined arrays to learn with.
Hope all this helps!

I made a 2d Game along time ago and what I did was I just used every Character, and each character represents a tile.
"lw429Sfka"
"sfd3443Kl"
"gs34FD34d"
"s5325FDsd"
Just like that then
switch(curr_cell)
{
case ''l'':
DrawCell(cell[0]);
}
Something like that
"lw429Sfka"
"sfd3443Kl"
"gs34FD34d"
"s5325FDsd"
Just like that then
switch(curr_cell)
{
case ''l'':
DrawCell(cell[0]);
}
Something like that

Hrm... I kinda understand, but not fully. I haven''t really done enough to implement my own little tricks (or anyone else''s). In the book here, it says you can also do a struct
like:
typedef struct TILED_IMAGE_TYP
{
TILE image[7][10]
} TILED_IMAGE, *TILE_IMAGE_PTR;
// and then do:
TILED_IMAGE world[3][3] =
{
.
.
.
}
Would this work as well?

.
