This is an object that holds my world. The problem lies with the LoadMap function. I am trying to load the map, which is at the bottom of the post, into the map member of my world. So far I'm not getting anything when trying to draw the world. Assuming the Draw funtion is right, I would really appreciate anyone's input as to what I may be doing wrong here. I don't think I have fully grasped the concept of the array of pointers I've used, so I have a feeling the problem my be in the way I am handling the arrays. Thanks in advance for any replies. class WORLD{ private: int width; //world width in 64*64 tiles int height; //world height in 64*64 tiles SPRITE TileSet[10]; //10 64*64 tile images used to create world char* worldmap[]; //map of world public: //WORLD(int WORLD_WIDTH, int WORLD_HEIGHT); //constructor void Draw(OBJECT viewpoint); //draw the world around the specific object void LoadTileSet(char filename[]); //load tile images for world void LoadMap(char* map[]); //load a map for the world };//WORLD //function implementation void WORLD::LoadMap(char* map[]){ //load a map of the world //copy newmap into map for(int i=0; i<28; i++){ //for each row of the newmap worldmap=map; //copy the row to the map }//end for }//LoadMap //my function called in the main //load a map into the world object gWorld.LoadMap(map00); //here is my map static char* map00[WORLD_HEIGHT] = { "111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "120000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001", "100000400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001", "100000100001000000100000000100010000100000000010001000010011000010001", "100000100000000000100000000100001000010000000100010000001100000100001", "115111111111111100100000000100100100000100000000010000000000001000001", "100010000100000100100000000100100010000010000100010000001110010000001", "100001000111010100100000000100100001000000100100000000000000100000001", "100001000001010111111111111100100000000000010100000111001111000011001", "100001000000010000000000000000100000000000000100000111000000000011001", "100005000001010100000000000000100000000000001100000000000000000000001", "141111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101111111111111111111110000000000000000000111111111111111111111111111", "101111111111111111111100111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101111111111111111111001111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101011111111111111100011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101010000000000001001111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101011111111111110011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101011111111111100111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101000111111111001111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101010111111110011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101010111111100111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101010111111001111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101010111111011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "101010111111011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", "100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001", "100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001", "111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" };//map00
