Starting a Map Engine

Ok when making a game it is kind of hard to make a game without collisions for that character to run into. The best way to probably do this would be to start a map engine that would split the screen into 16x16 tiles. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how I would go about doing this?

Store an array of integers, each one corresponding to a different type of tile, and then draw it starting at an (x,y) offset (your scroll). Draw the player somewhere in here, based on the offset.

When the player moves left off the side of the screen, decrement the x offset. Same for when he moves right off the side of the screen, except incrementing it.
