I need help making a 2d RPG with tiles and collision detection. I tried it with a sprite for walls and stuff you cant walk through and it worked but the characters got stuck and bounced away. I also tried with Arrays but it got really long

but you can try to save your tiles' informations ( position, number of image, ... ) in an array, and save it
then, you can use only one code to load several maps

I'm following John, but I'm not john.
Lol, it is funnier in french

u can make layers
-the 1st layer being the background(being just 1 picture)
-2nd layer being the people,items ect..(all these things would b seperate because they move and stuff)
-3rd layer things that the 2nd layer go under like planes,tree tops,ect.(also just 1 pic)

If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.

I tried the sprite layers with a tank game whick worked but the tank got caught on edges and reversed with half of it in a wall. I'll try that array saving thing. I'm not relly sure how to check for collisions with certain tiles though.
(is that how you spell though?).

Its easy. You make a grid using an array
dim grid(width,height,properties)
properties being different items that can go on the tile. For example say that if grid(width,height,1)=1 means that a character is on a certain grid spot. You move him left, thus changing the last position to grid(width,height,1)=0
and the new position to grid(width,height,1)=1. Now lets say grid(width,height,2)=1 means theres an obstacle on that grid square. You test if there's an obstacle on the grid square you want to move to, if there is, you dont move, otherwise, you do.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!
