I''m using two coordinate sets, one for the "real" position, on screen,
and one the virtual position, on the map,
since my map is made from tiles each 60x20 and the tilemap is 50x50 then my virtual space is 3000x1000.
anyway, I''m keeping the palyer location on the map as the virtual coords. and the tile it is over, I don''t keep for each tile the player that is on it.
so my drawing is in two stages, the map (background) and the objects on the ground,
the player, trees, pillars etc. (objects for short)
the objects are sorted by X first then by Y (which makes the drawing, left to right, top to bottom).
thats basically it.

when I see an exclamation mark I think "not".
So seeing all your exclamaiton marks confuses me.
eg "Hello!!!! I had a lot of coffee!!! so i use alot of !!! !"
when I read this I see "hello not not not not" - that can be shortened to hello
"I had a lot of coffee not not not" - shortened to I didnt have a lot of coffee
"so I use a lot of not not not not" - which doesnt make any sense.
Maybe I should cut back on the C++?
Sorry about the rant I just had to say it.
