I do not have time to explain this in-depth, but what I always do (it's been a long time since I created a scrolling tilemapper) is like this:
Code: [Select]
(big tilemap here)->GDB1

now display the tilemap from [scrolled X] to [scrolled X]+(96/tile size).
Same for Y.
So if X was the amount scrolled for only horizontal scrolling,i
I'm going to guess what I interpreted
Repeat getkey(15)
For(B,0,8
For(A,X,X+12
{B*13+A+GDB1}->T
If T
T--
Pt-On(A-X*8,B*8,T*8+Pic1
End
End
End
DispgraphClrdraw
End

With scrolling, you need an X offset and a Y offset, in pixels. I use T for the X offset, and S for the Y offset. Assuming you have a pointer to the tilemap in W and the start of the Tile sprites in Pic1, using A, B, C, D, and E as temporary variables...

Code: [Select]
ClrDraw

0-(T^8)->C
For(A,T/8-1,T/8+11
0-(S^8)->D
For(B,S/8-1,S/8+11

If {B*WIDTH_OF_MAP+A+W}->E
Pt-On(C,D,E-1*8+Pic1
End

D+8->D
End
C+8->C
End

Dispgraph

So when T is 8 and S is 8, you're at the top-left most corner of the tilemap. You can increment/decrement T and S using the arrow keys.

* epic7 sees why parser loves butts (in a manly way) :thumbsup:

Pointer for the tilemap? You mean like doing
GDB1->W
or something?

lol yeah, that's correct, assuming your map data is in GDB1.

^^ That. The map itself is not shifted.
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:

Changing S and T by 1 increments by 1 pixel at a time, right?

And width of map in tiles?

Yeah, that's right. And "width of map in tiles" means you enter the number of columns your entire map has.

Does
0-(S^8)->D
Have to be inside the loop?

If it is storing something to a variable then no, unless it only happens if something in the loop causes it, in which case you could use lbls

I'm not sure if it could be out of the loop to optimize, but it seems like it could...

It wouldn't do much, but it helps I guess. are you doing this for speed or size?

ok then, what I usually do is put my variables and lines and hex's outside of the main loop (as far as tile maps, if you are scrolling I don't know where you put them) so you could experiment with moving those out if you haven't already.

Yeah, I know that, but I just wanted to try to move one line in a for loop out of the for loop, and see if it works.

It seems like it has to be in the loop though.
