high,
i have recently decided to make a pacman clone. (keep in mind i am new to
all this, but i have allready finished a pong clone). i figured making it
tile based was my best bet. anyway, i use 32x32 tiles and i make an array
thats 19x25 in size. i have 3 kinds of graphics, open space, wall, and
player. i fill in my array using enums to represent a specific tile, then i
use 2 for loops to feed in the numbers and draw the approriate tile. so far,
this works great. accept i cant figure out how to do collision detection.
for now, i can only move my player 32 pixels at a time, and he will collide
with walls. but this looks stupid, moving 32 pixels at a time looks bad. if
i try having him move a smaller amount, like 2 or 5 pixels, he runs right
through the walls. this is because i have no tiles for any pixels between
those that are divisable by 32. how do i do this? at first i tried making an
array that was like bool map [800][600], meaning an element for each pixel.
i then would use a for loop to make each value to false (as in open space),
then i used for loops and the walls coordinates and w/h to fill in where the
walls were, and did colliosn that way. but it was very sloppy and didnt work
too well. could someone maybe explain to me how this is done? keep in mind
im a newbie =). also, i know that might be asking a lot, so sending me some
links or something would still be appreciated. thank you.
oh, and im using windows and c++ if that matters_________________________________________________________________

This is OT in this list, but Bob B can point you to the very good Game
programmer list, where this is very on topic.

Yep, take this over to the gameprogrammer.com mailing list (sign up at
gameprogrammer.com) andyou can probably get a good long discussion going
onthis topic.

Hello! I’m loading a bitmap with this code.
// …
mBild = SDL_DisplayFormat(SDL_LoadBMP(patchToBMP));
if (mBild == 0)
{
std::cerr << “ERROR” << std::endl;
return 1;

And when I run the program I get.

Check that you only use SDL_DisplayFormat after you’ve called
SDL_SetVideoMode().
