Zelda style graphics...

I felt like doing something like that, so I did.
I used the Data statement to make the map:

;0=grass
;1=rock
;2=stairs
;3=sand
;4=shore
;5=water
;6=dirt/mud
;7=door
;8=horizontal brick wall
;9=vertical brick wall
;10=top right brick wall
;11=bottom right brick wall
;12=bottom left brick wall
;13=top left brick wall
;14=sand to grass
;15=stone path
;16=tree
;17=vertical path
;18=horizontal path
;19=ending up path
;20=ending right path
;21=ending down path
;22=ending left path
;23=top left path
;24=top right path
;25=bottom right path
;26=bottom left path

I found that is was really slow at 800,600,32, so I changed it to 640,480,16, and that's much better.
I still don't know what I am going to do. I might make a very simple rpg type game, but that might be a bit complicated...

Paul,

Check out 'tile studio' for a neat tool to design this type of graphic, including maps and animationa and layers. The code does export to BlitzBasic too!

I think it's linked in the toolbox area...it has been around a long time and code exports were developed for quite a few languages including Blitz.
