Ok, don''t know exactly how to say this, but say I have a bitmap with all my tiles drawn on it. The bitmap is a 3x3 map. Ok, tile (2, 1) would be tile #4 if I were to count from left to right, I know that, and you know that. So how do I go about telling the computer this. I figured out a small mathematical formuala for it, but it does not seem feasible. BTW, I dont want to load all the tiles into their own surfaces either, or is that the best way to go about it?

I messed up on this post, what I mean is exactly the opposite. How do I convert #Z to XYth tile.

        MAXCOL 3MAXROW 3getXY(in cellnum, out X, out Y)tempnum = cellnumy=1;x=1;While (tempnum > MAXCOL){      tempnum -= MAXCOL     y++}x=tempnum

Try something similar to this:

x = cell_number % MAX_COLUMNS
y = cell_number / MAX_COLUMNS

(''%'' is the modulo (eng.?) operator)
