Hi.

I'm making a simple snake game that have several levels. Is it posible to load the levels from a text file and into an array? (I'm using the data in an array to draw the screen)

The sourcecode is what I want the text file to look like. The attachment picture is how it should be in game/on screen.

What I want is that all the x's should be loaded into the array in the right place and given the value 1201. (all the 1201's in the array will be drawed as a wall)

Can anyone help me with this? I know it's not explained very good, but my english is a bit limited. I hope you understand what I mean...

Hmm... Is there a way to edit my post? The sourcecode thing did not work.

Anyway, the text file should look like this:

level1
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x......................................x
x......................................x
x......................................x
x......................................x
x......................................x
x......................................x
x......................................x

Your text file isone line per row of boxes in the game, I guess?

You could...



So waht you are doing is reading one line, checking each character and updating the array, then moving to th enext line.

as for your source code, if you are still waiting for your posts to appear, then the source code will not work.

try using code snipetts.

(code)[click the code button above]
print "hello world"
(/code)[click that button again]
