I haven't started programming games yet, so this is my very basic question.

When you have your level saved as a .MAP, and blit them into the screen, do you blit them directly into the screen, into a DC device, and crop them into a full image, or do you have for example an array with 100 picture boxes, and load each little image into an array, so you wnd up with the same result, but using a different method...??

Also, if the answer is the first one, load them directly into a DC(picture box), then how would you determine if ther is a collision if you can't really manage each image array separately, since it is all one cropped image.


Thanks.
