ok, i am new to BASIC, but so far i have a moving character.
Now for this game i want to make a large map and have my character walk around.
I want to do this by having a text file with letters like A, B etc. This will be tiles in my game.
I was wondering what code i should use to load the .txt file in, how to make it display and how to get scrolling workin propperly.

I get what you saying...I was also looking for something like this. Search 'pizzaman' and you will see a tutorial that he made on it or try searching for in the codebase.

Instead of using letters it'd be easier to use numbers. That way the number represents the image numbers of the tiles. If you use letters you'll have to convert them to numbers anyway (unless you want to use the "asc()" command).

Is this for a homework assignment?
