mapping/terrian

[k1ng]

i was reading through one other topic on this and i was wondering.
people were saying using a table to display the map is better?

so do i use one picture for the whole map or use lots of smaller images in more cells of the table?

umm the main question is how do i display the map(2d). and how do i make the player(2d) move around ontop of it and run into battle etc

I'm using many 64*64 images to represent the map.

An easy way is a table:

Code: [Select]

map_x,
map_y,
map_landscape
I read the coordinates at the player location and an few pieces around and build the map with css.
The using of css or a table depends on your needs.
Using one great picture for the world... makes it inflexible for user-driven changes of the map.
