Does anyone have any information or links to information about determining colors, and working with a texture file (BMP, JPG, TGA ect) they would be willing to share with a beginner ? I want to detect collision based on a ''collision map''. Where in a read from a texture and decide if a space can be moved to based on the collision map''s color value (white or black). I suppose I could just store a 1 or a 0 in a huge 2D array, but I''d still like to know how to deal with a texture on a pixel by pixel basis. Thanks in advance for you help. The Kid I don''''t know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.

File formats ? Go there or there.

As to dealing with an image on a per-pixel basis, well, once your image is in memory, you can manipulate it there.
