How do I read this so that say 1 = grass; 0 = sky??
I also have a variable that holds the tile amount: dim FMap(40,15)
any help will be appreciated!

A nested FOR/NEXT loop would do. Something like this..

(untested)

+ Code Snippet

 for y=0 to 14
   For x=0 to 39 
       read Tile
       Map(x,y)=Tile 
    next x
 next y

Hmm, I wonder what's coming in 2011?

i'm a total noob, how do I assign a sprite to the number? like 1 = grass; 0 = sky?

heres my code so far:

+ Code Snippet

Rem Project: DATA reading
Rem Created: Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Rem ***** Main Source File *****
set display mode 800,600,32
sync on
sync rate 60

gosub File:


dim map_grid(3,3)

load image "F:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional Online\Projects\Load image\media\grass_tile.bmp",1
load image "F:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional Online\Projects\Load image\media\water_tile.bmp",2
//paste image 3,0,0
gosub map_create

do
    
    print map_grid(1,3)
    sync
    
LOOP

map_create:
open to read 1, "C:/mapdata.txt"
for y=0 to 3
for x=0 to 3
read file 1,tile
map_grid(x,y) = tile
next x
next y
close file 1
return

File:
Open To Write 2,"C:/mapdata.txt"
Write File 2,1
Write File 2,1

Write File 2,1

Write File 2,2
Write File 2,1

Write File 2,1
Write File 2,1
Write File 2,1
Write File 2,1

Close File 2 
return

EDIT: Ok so I have a semi Working map thingy:

+ Code Snippet

dim MAP(2,2)
LOAD IMAGE "F:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional Online\Projects\Load image\media\grass_tile.bmp",1
LOAD IMAGE "F:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional Online\Projects\Load image\media\water_tile.bmp",2
for x = 0 to 7
 for y = 0 to 7
     read T
if T = 1 then PASTE IMAGE 1, 16*x,16*y
 NEXT x 
NEXT y

WAIT KEY

DATA 1,1,1,1,1
DATA 1,1,1,1,1
DATA 1,1,1,1,1
DATA 1,1,1,1,1

But how do I make it so that multiple tiles come in without overlapping eachother? so that the 1's look like their in the same place when put together in the DATA functions?
