ok, here i come... with sort of a dumb question : hmmm, how to tell my problem... well, i want to make a tiny tilebased program like pacman the problem is that i dont know how to make the map routine! i want a routine which looks like this : #define GRASS 0 //i use different graphics for #define STONE 1 //every ground structure, of course =) #define WATER 2 // #define PLAYER 3 // int map_load() { int map[5][5] = { //now a simple map... {0,0,0,1,1}, //with the defined elements {0,1,2,0,0}, {0,1,2,2,2}, {1,1,0,0,2}, {3,0,0,2,2} } //BUT WHAT HAS TO BE HERE??? //i want the map to be displayed on the screen with a //for-routine(for(x=0;....) // } HOW(!!!) do i do that ? i have made some simple graphics already, and im using the DJGPP compiler with the ALLEGRO game library who can post some code??? thx, Freddy

Forgot to mention too that nehe.gamedev.net has really good OpenGl tutorials and it explains the code real well also after the first couple lessons on there you should start getting the hang of it also Opengl isn''t the "best" api its just a nice one and direct 3d is comparable...its all a matter of preference really. theres a D3d sight nexe.gamedev.net if ya wanna give D3d a go see which one you prefer!

hmmm, thx for those hints...

but i wont use any of your compilers, cause i have been programming with it for a while now and its executable size is 1/8th of the size of microsoft i think...

cheers

If you still want that code, here it is... I haven''t tried it... I don''t have a compiler here, but this is basically what you want to do...

  BITMAP *graphics[4]; //four different tilesgraphics[0] = load_bitmap("grass.bmp");graphics[1] = load_bitmap("stone.bmp");//And so on...//All tiles have same width and heightint tilew = graphics[0]->w;int tileh = graphics[0]->h;for(int x=0;x<5;x++)for(int y=0;y<5;y++){	blit(graphics[map[x][y]],screen,0,0,tilew*x,tileh*y,tilew,tileh);}
