The purple roofed house is at coordinate 6:1. (Xtile):(Ytile)
Go 6 to the right and 1 down, you hit the purple roofed house.
I think the order of the tiles may be confusing, this may be better:
Map 1.txt
Code: [Select]
MAP:1
0:0,B=T
1:0,B=T
2:0,B=T
3:0,B=T
4:0,B=T
5:0,B=T
6:0,B=T
7:0,B=T

0:1,B=T
1:1,B=T
2:1,B=T
3:1,B=T
4:1,B=T
6:1,B=T

0:2,B=T
1:2,B=T
2:2,B=T
3:2,B=T
7:2,B=T

0:3,B=T
3:3,B=T
7:3,B=T

5:4,B=T
7:4,B=T

0:5,B=T
1:5,B=T
7:5,B=T

0:6,B=T
3:6,B=T
4:6,B=T
5:6,B=T
6:6,B=T
7:6,B=T
You can arrange the tiles in any order as long as you don't change the actual coordinates of them.

Whoops, my mistake. I was reading it y:x. I'm used to doing it the other way with V6.

Looking good Gan, looking good.

Hehehe... yeah, but in my defence I formatted the map key to resemble the room picture:

Code: [Select]
gridMap$ = new Array (gridSize);
gridMap$  [1] = " 00000010000000";
gridMap$  [2] = " 10000000000000";
gridMap$  [3] = " 00000011111001";
gridMap$  [4] = " 00010010001100";
gridMap$  [5] = " 10000010000100";
gridMap$  [6] = " 00000011090100";
gridMap$  [7] = " 00010001121100";
gridMap$  [8] = " 01000000090000";
gridMap$  [9] = " 00001000000000";
gridMap$ [10] = " 10000000000010";
gridMap$ [11] = " 00000000100000";
gridMap$ [12] = " 01001000001000";
gridMap$ [13] = " 00100001000001";
gridMap$ [14] = " 10000100000100";


At a glance you can see where the obstacles are. If I stored the values in columns rather than rows the obstacles wouldn't be aligned correctly.

Looks similar to what I thought of doing a long time ago and still use.

Yeah, that's exactly it. :) I'm using an array in JavaScript, but it's the same idea.

btw TD, you'd probably love JavaScript too. I started dabbling in it a few months back and it's really cool! Check out http://www.w3schools.com/JS/default.asp for great beginner to expert tutorials.

yea, JS is sweet, but not as awesome as Actionscript (In my opinion)
Only thing AS3 is missing is efficient 3d rendering.
and iPhone exporting :P

Syntax is basically identical :P
AS1 was based off of JS (I think)

I'm now commensing on the next programming stage:
NPCs.
I have a basic idea of how I'm going to do this, but I think I'll check out Silver's Quest of Magic open source to see if I can find any pointers before I get started.

When I rewrote V6 in JavaScript I wrote a quick list to help me remember what order to do things in. It's self explanatory, but I find it helpful. My NPC's AI was really simple, so the list was like:

  • Check which directions the NPC can move in.
  • Move the NPC in an available direction.
  • Check for collision with player.
And so on.
