I am trying to read numbers from a file and store them in an array as part of my tile based collision however the reading doesn't seem to be working properly. My text file has this stored in it:

and my code is like this:

This fills the array with odd numbers but I assumed that's just the ascii code or something so after searching the forums I tried:


This does give me 1's and 0's but totally in the wrong places. Can anyone spot anything obviously wrong?
Thanks

Yes, that works.
If you want to do it in a somewhat cleaner way though, the ascii codes for 0 - 9 are 48 - 57. So, you can basically read the file contents as bytes, then subtract 48 from each value, and there you go.

Here is a slight alteration that will make a coloured cube depending on the map value
