    I dunno what I'm doing yet... I just thought I should get the basics of tiled game first...
    Next logical step will probably be to get somekind of sprite to move around...
    I have no idea how to do the collision detection so any pointers are very welcome...
    Please don't post any code - just keep doing what you have done so far - give me pointers in the right direction or post psuedo code.
    I feel I learn much more that way then if I just copy and paste code...
    Thanks

    Edit ----
    If we assume that the sprite moves with 20 pixels (the width and hight of the tiles) at a time. And then divide the x and y by 20 we should get the tile we're on right now and then it's just a matter about checking to see if the tile we're about to step on is a wall or not...
    The problem is that I can't get the sprite to move...
    I've tried Form_KeyDown and KeyPress - neither of them worked at all. Then I tried GetAsyncKeyState but it executes the moving code to fast, by the time I release the button the sprite is long gone from the screen... And I haven't been able to figure out how to just execute the code once...

    Never argue with fools, they will only drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

    Q: How do you tell an experienced hacker from a novice?
    A: The latter thinks there's 1000 bytes in a kilobyte, while the former is sure there's 1024 meters in a kilometer
