(Everyone wants to make a RPG now...

OK,

I think you're making a tile-based game, huh?
If yes you can take a simple map like this:

-
'Declaration
Dim Map() as Long

'On load
ReDim Map(100, 100)
-

Well, now it's bigger than the screen I think . There are many ways to make it scroll...
I have a Camera -class and calculating the tile positions on the screen from the camera coordinates, so i just have to move the camera.
Last year I just took some vars like ScrollX and ScrollY to move. If you want to have an example send me a mail. hope this helps .
