I am making a little game using bit blt. So far i have a little d00de running around a picture box with a few bit blt drawn obstructions. i was wondering if i could store bit blt drawn stuff, say in another form, or module, and when the player reaches the edge of the screen, it loads the level i set up from the other form or whatever.
can this be done?
Yes but there are better ways; if you are using a tile based engine ( I assume so ) then consider an array.
For example:
Dim Map(50,50) As Integer
' a value of 1 means grass, 2 means water, etc.
do u have an example project or something i could use?
Email me and I'll send you a sample, its too big for poor VBForums

There are lots of tile engines demonstrations, I'll name just a few:
