Hello, I would like to see an article that consentrates on 2D tile engines using C++ and SDL as it isn't a very well documented aspect of game programming. Many thanks, Lord_Jabbercat~

I thought there were too many (basic) SDL tutorials around already [grin] And aren't there already quite a few tiling tutorials on gamedev.net?

Well, the article would be quite easy to write but is it really necessary?

I think it is alot of things new programmers have trouble with, and I include myself in that. I think it really would be useful.

It's hardly a poorly documented aspect of games programming, there are plenty of tiling tutorials out there, and the technique is fairly simple to apply to your language/API of choice.

For example, google turned up these samples, which may or may not be of interest. Links found here may also be of some use.

I wouldnt mind writing one, although these fine people above are quite right, there are more than a few tiling tuts.

I could do it i guess...

I mean, if you understand SDL, all that's blocking you is Code Creativity!

Don't depend on tutorials too much, try thinking of manners to solve your own problems. Copy Pasting won't get you a job!
