Here is my code:

int template1[12][12] ={
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,4,4,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,4,4,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,4,4,4,4,4,4,0,0,0,
0,0,0,4,4,4,4,4,4,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,4,4,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,4,4,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
};

dbLoadImage ( "left_tile.png", 7);

//First column
int j = 0;
for(int i = 0; i <= 12; i++,j++)
{
if (template1[i][j] == 0)
dbSprite (7, i, j * 31, 7);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
The left_tile image is only pasted on the screen in the last postion and nowhere else. I need the same sprite to be pasted in several locations from the same source image in order to make a Pacman maze. Why isn't this code working?

There's only one sprite, and you're just moving it around. The point of sprites is that they are movable, not permanent.

Try using dbPasteImage instead of a sprite.

For some reason, when I use dbPasteImage (7, i, j * 31); nothing at all shows up on the screen. And yes it is in the right folder, so I know it exists.

@Metroid Larvae,
Either the image isn't being loaded correctly (unlikely as you can make a sprite from it), or you aren't syncing and updating the display, or bitmap 0 isn't the current bitmap.

Post a complete example project with test media - make it easy for us to help you.

You've almost got it.

+ Code Snippet

int DrawMap()
{
   int X = 0;
   int Y = 0;
   int SpriteID = 0;
   int SizeOfSprite
   while (Y < 12)
   {
      while (X < 12)
      {
         dbSprite(SpriteID,X*SizeOfSprite,Y*SizeOfSprite,7);
         X++;
         SpriteID++;
      }
   if (X == 10)
   {
      X = 0;
   }
   Y++;
}

If you want to add additional tiles, which you probably do, Use:

+ Code Snippet

dbSprite(SpriteID,X*SizeOfSprite,Y*SizeOfSprite,template1[X][Y]);

However then the Image ID's of the tiles have to be the same as in the array. As in :

+ Code Snippet

dbLoadImage("tile1.bmp", 1);
dbLoadImage("tile2.bmp", 2);

int template1[12][12] = {
   1,2,1,2,1,2,.....etc
}

So I used your algorithm and the images paste to the screen but in the wrong position. I recoded your oriinal algorithm because it was giving me an error. I am also using the real map this time instead of the template map that I was just trying to test.

It might help you, in the future, to use to /* and */ to comment large blocks out. Instead of putting // in front of every line of code, just put /* in front of the first one and */ at the end of the last one.

This isn't commented
