I'm trying to think of how many members here and on the other forums that do a lot of programming and how many work on computers/servers for a living.  It's not that smart to try and hack a place with that many people that likely know more than you.

You could also store the strings into a few sub programs and then do a couple If statements to decide which sub to open.  Then you could just run the sub and return the string in Ans and extract what you wanted (so you don't have some massive string that takes forever to search).

I don't know if you use Asm libs or not, but you could also store the text in an archived program and have Celtic extract the line it's stored in.  This is the least memory-intensive way to do it and would also be fairly fast, since if you numbered them like DJ Omnimaga does you would just read the Nth line.

The 1s and 0s are walkable/not-walkable only in that example, but the values you'd use could be anything.

The map data would be temporarily stored in a matrix/list/string so the actual map data wouldn't be corrupted.

The way most large RPGs handle maps is having the whole map divided into chunks, and when the player reaches/gets near an edge the map data for the next block is loaded, so you don't have to have one humungus matrix/list/string.

The location of the player isn't actually put into the tilemap, but only on the screen the sprite is displayed over the location they should be.  All you have to do is make sure that the corresponding location isn't already occupied.

If you want to see a forum with bloody battles, go to archerytalk.com, they have more locked/deleted threads than this or any other forum has posts...

Tilemapping is the method of producing a grid-like map using sprites based on a matrix/list.  A matrix can represent the map you want, and the individual elements are numbers that correspond to a certain tile pattern.  If you have a 10x10 map and 4 different tiles, then you would put a 1-4 in each part of the matrix.
The most common (non-asm program) method of displaying this is using a for( loop with text sprites.  You start a for( loop that goes through each element of the matrix and at the corresponding point in the map, the sprite is displayed.  More information on textsprites can be found http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/graphics.
Basically, tilemapping is simplifying how to display/store maps.

My family just moved, and I'm trying to set-up a network.  We have a PC running Windows XP and an Ibook with OSX.  Our ISP is SBC (AT&T), we have a wireless modem.  I've been able to get the Ibook and the PC to connect to the internet.  My problem now is trying to set up our printer to do remote jobs from the laptop.  It's an HP PSC 1500, and I know that it can handle printer sharing.  I've installed the software on both computers, the printer's hooked up to the PC and it will print fine.  My problem is trying to get the laptop to access the printer.  After a lot of screwing around, I finally got the laptop to recognize the printer.  The problem is that when I go to print, it either doesn't respond, or starts printing out pages and pages of jargon, and only stops when it runs out of paper or I turn it off.  I've never had this problem before, but at our old house I never bothered to try and set-up the printer-sharing.  This is seriously starting to piss me off, I had this (explicit paragraph) thing trained!!! Please don't recommend Linux, to get around this whole everything Microsoft and Apple sucks, I've argued that to my mom for years.  If anyone has any ideas on what I should do, tell em.  Even if you don't know exactly what I should do, any ideas could get my mind geared towards it.
Thanks for anything anyone can do.

Heres a tip on how to get the most out of AP Physics:
switch teachers until their syllabus doesn't say "AP test" more than "physics"-it works, trust me
