Question

Maps for dummies!

Any good indepth BG maping guids any-one can recommend? I watched petite professor do a video but it kanda lacked the actual lesson. I know there are two standered ways, would love to learn both.

    loading the map stuff really, getting things to do what you want like tall grass to slow a person, map scrolling, i need a major lesson in this, more then the game offers in text. Going to focus one subject at a time and start small think, will start with track and add things to it as i go.

    A lot of people ask these kinds of questions. I'm going to make a program that teaches maps. Don't know how long that will take me, but you'll be the first to get it, assuming you can wait. I could have it done within a week.

    Loading the maps is fairly easy, after saving it as an SC you can do DIM MAP[0] FOR I=0 TO 3 LOAD "DAT:SC_(MAPNAME)_L"+STR$(I),MAP BGLOAD I,MAP NEXT To get what is at a certain point in a BG screen, you can do BGGET(layer,x,y). If you store a player's X and Y with the variables X and Y, you can say something like IF BGGET(1,X,Y)==(GRASS BGNUMBER) THEN SPEED=.5

    Oh, the BG map is probably not sized properly. For every layer you also have to do BGSCREEN I,64,64 if you're using maps from the map maker.
