2D Tiling in Java - Help?

[Coly010]

I'm currently working on a 2D RPG using java, however I have hit what you could call a slight problem. To create my Map, I'm going to tile together different 32 * 32 images.

At the moment I'm using an Array (int[] ) which stores different numbers to represent different tiles.

Then I'm using a Loop to loop through the array.

Something like:

for (int i = 0; i < Map.Map1.length; i++)
      for (int j=1; I < Map.Map1.length; j++)
               {
                   // Tiling Code Here

                }

 

There are two problems : the j integer is supposed to represent the y size of the array and the i to be x value.

However the .length part simply gives the full length I assume and ignores x / y positions.

And the next problem is how to position the tile(image) according to the number returned from the Array.

Thanks for any help given!

Why not check how others do it?

Thanks a_bertrand. I couldn't understand the code in for that game as it was very very disorganized but it did help me create a theory from which I googled multiple aspects of java coding and was then able to somewhat succesfully use it to tile a background.

Thanks

Java is always difficult to deal with. I have been learning Java for 6 months. But now I just know little about it.
