Does anyone have any helpful links, tutorials, code, on how to do a basic tile based engine? I am using allegro, and my tiles are 16x16.

The following is a link to a (slightly out of date) book on creating a side scroller:

http://www.makegames.com/sidescroller/.

(But how are you making a side scroller without scrolling? isn''t that inherent to a side scroller?)

Hey cool, isn''t that the tommy one? I read that once when I had no idea what I was doing, and didn''t comprehend it! Ever since I have been searching for it! Thanks!!

Now lemme answer that, ok the game plays so that once the player reaches one side of the screen it clears the screen and draws the next area, I think it is kind of like prince of persia...

Yeah, that''s called page scrolling for future reference.
