I am making a 2d tile map using C# in the .Net platform. My question is my map shows the tiles but us going diagonal Any Help also any info on the relationship between the array and the coordinates and size of the image would help too. byte[,] myPic = new byte[102, 101]; for (int y = 0; y < 102; y++) { for (int x = 0; x < 101; x++) { myPic[x, y] = 0; Graphics dc = this.CreateGraphics(); this.Show(); Image myImage = Image.FromFile(@"c:\\Stone.bmp"); dc.DrawImage(myImage, x+=20, y+=4, 20, 20); } } [Edited by - four_star00 on September 24, 2005 5:45:36 PM]

Can you show a screenshot or something to illustrate your point?

I can describe it


using the numbers in the above code,

when I rum my form


my map goes diagonal down

I have noticed by playing around with the numbers


the tiles overlap or spread apart and go diagonal

I made the corrections and it fixed the diagnal problem but the tiles are overlapping each other instead of each tile being seen fully

Any pointers

You'll want to change

dc.DrawImage(myImage, x+=20, y+=4, 20, 20)

to be

dc.DrawImage(myImage, x * 20, y * 20, 20, 20)

(I'm assuming 20, 20 is the size of the image)

This will make it so the loop supplies the x and y coordinates of the tile and then places them in the correct position on the screen for those coordinates rather than just moving across 1 each time like with the addition.
