[DISCUSSION] Very Simple Game engine

Ok, I did insert my data statements, into, your "proof of concept" code,..also read ,the posts in the other thread,
http://weeklyqbasicandqb64lesson.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,221.0/msg,1218.html
..it all seems easy enough to understand,...
-----------------------Code Below--------------

Code:

REM 'VSGE Proof of Concept.
DEFINT A-Z

SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32) 'what the user will see
Tiles1& = _LOADIMAGE("RogueCraftExp1.bmp", 32) 'hidden window of our tiles 8 tiles@(16 x 16)

DIM Map%(40, 30)
GOSUB LoadMap
GOSUB ShowMap

DO
   _LIMIT 30

LOOP UNTIL _KEYDOWN(27)
SLEEP
SYSTEM

'--------------------- gosubs -------------------------------
LoadMap:
FOR down = 0 TO 29 'col 29
   FOR across = 0 TO 39 'row 39
   READ z
   Map%(across, down) = z 'row,col
   NEXT across
NEXT down
RETURN

ShowMap:
FOR down = 0 TO 29
   FOR across = 0 TO 39
   SELECT CASE Map%(across, down)
   'CASE 0

You will note in the "CASE 0" line, I remarked both lines out, this was because, with that line it had a kind of olive green back ground, and I did not want that, I want the black back ground.
In the "code " thread, you mention as a reference, PacMan, and a ghost. Later I can make a data map, with a pac man and a ghost, and a maze,...
Ok well guess thats about it, you have done a good job on this,.. So far it dose not sound that complicated.
Guess that is about it for now from Garry
