Fir the game I am currently working on I have built a terrain/level editor. All is fine apart from saving. I currently have DarkBASIC opening a seperate file and storing the height of each matrix co-ordinate in each one.
I know there is a quicker way.
Can someon please give me some code to:
a)Save the height of each co-ordinate on a matrix made like this:
eg. Make matrix 1,1000,1000,50,50
b)Load the saved matrix in a seperate file
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You could use a combination of arrays and for...next loops instead of saving each and every coordinate with one single command. Check out MagicWorld from http://www.robinking.com/allseeingi, Robin King just released the source code, and it may help you.

At the moment I am using a peice of code like this:

save:
z=0
continue_save:
for x = 0 to 49
x$=STR$(x)
z$=STR$(z)
join$="_"
ext$=".dat"
y=get matrix height(1,x,z)
y$=STR$(y)
file$=x$+join$+z$+ext$
if file exist(file$)
open to read file$,1
write string 1,y$
close file 1
next x
z=z+1
if z = 50 then goto saved
goto continue_save
