Well as the title says..

I have some tile sets, and a basic idea for the game, but I really don't know where to start, I've seen people use arrays somehow, but i really never understood it. Can someone please direct me to a tutorial or give me some advice here? I have used the search button, but i couldn't find much

Be patient....everything takes time.

I have seen them, but im looking for something like code examples and what they mean, like how to load an image and seperate it into like 16x16 or 32x32 tiles and then put them on the background.

And for the map editor i couldn't find where i download it from.

Goes through some 2D basics. Check the Code base for 2d Scroller with collisions for any additional code.

Alright, i have for the most part learned the basics, but i can't seem to find any 2d tile editor that can work.

I have Vista 32-bit, and ive tried alot of programs, like Tiled, Mappy, and maybe 6 others...= can anyone please help me find a tileset that would work on my computer.

EDIT: and with the map editor in the 2nd post, there isnt a download link...or am i just missing something

It tells you the problem in the debug:
Quote: "Could not find field"

You need to declare it using TYPE



This is just a guess mind. You should post the whole thing if you want a more precise answer.
