Have you ever noticed how in some RPG's you can see that the map is made up
of different squares of art?
IE they have 1 square that looks like metal grating lets say and they just
use the same square peice of art over and over to draw a walk way or maybe
they have a square that looks like sand and they put it down wherever they
want sand.
Thats what they mean by tiles (:
A simple tile system would be imagine we had a 2d array 5x5 with some values
in it like this:
***R*
***R*
***R*
*=RR*
*****
that essentialy represents our game's map. You can kind of see how it can
be a map already.
Now, Imagine that wherever you see a '*', replace that mentaly with a square
of grass. Wherever to you see an 'R', replace that with something that
looks like a dirt path. Where you see the '=', replace that with a well.
Now, instead of just having a 2d array, we have a dirt path in the grass
leading to a well, and we used 3 different 'Tiles' on our map.
Does that make sense?

> I am new at programming and really have a desire and creative mind for
game programmingand I was looking at a resource that has a tutorial at
making a Tile RPG with VB. What does the tile mean? just the way the
graphics are designed or what? I know about all the different game types as
far as rpg, action, strategy, adventure, puzzle, etc.. but what is some of
the other differences of design. I apologise to those who this question is
to basic of their experience. God Bless
