Why not start with something simple like . for empty space and # for walls then open Notepad and type a few lines like this which is a 10x10 map?



Then save it as "map.txt". That would correspond to three rooms and a connecting corridor - or 4 rooms if you prefer. Then use the loading code you used before on your other thread (with the changes I suggested).

Incidentally you haven't replied to the suggestions on your other thread. People may stop helping you if you make too many threads and don't reply to their suggestions.

Green Gandalf's method is a good one. @Green I meant to ask what you had published. Go to this thread...
