Hey all. I have a function that draws out a map. The map is stored in a multi-dimensional array such as Tiles[200][200]. My question is, how can I access that array with a pointer? Better yet, would it be more efficient to retrieve the information in a different way? Thanks,

Well, if all of the 200x200 items are adjacent in memory you can move through it with a pointer. I think it would be better to make it a single dimensional 40000 element array in memory though, then move through it like this:

Tile *curtile = &alltiles[0];Tile *lasttile = &alltiles[(width*height)-1]+sizeof(Tile);while(curtile<lasttile) { // Do stuff to curtile here curtile++;}
