So im trying to make a map based on a a file which has ints in it
1111111111
1000000001
1000000001
1000000001
1111111111
And so what i get the code to do is display a grass tile (32x32) for 1 and a dirt tile for 0.
This is my code for loading and differentiating between the 2.
protected void loadMapFile(String string) throws Exception {
// TODO Load Map, Put into int array
File f = new File(string);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
String line = in.readLine();
cols = line.length();
rows = count(string) + 1;
System.out.println(rows);
lines = new String[rows];
map = new Image[cols][rows];
mapMask = new int[cols][rows];
while (line != null) {
lines[counter] = line;
counter++;
line = in.readLine();
}
for (int y = 0; y < rows; y++) {
for (int x = 0; x < cols; x++) {
mapMask[x][y] = Integer.parseInt(lines[y].substring(x, x + 1));
System.out.print(mapMask[x][y]);
setImageContent(x, y);
}
System.out.println("");
}
mapCreated = true;
}
private void setImageContent(int x, int y) {
switch (mapMask[x][y]) {
case 0:// dirt
map[x][y] = Images.DirtTile.getImage();
break;
case 1:// grass
map[x][y] = Images.GrassTile.getImage();
break;
}
}
And on my paint method i draw it like so:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
if (mapCreated) {
for (int y = 0; y < endRows; y++) {
for (int x = 0; x < endCols; x++) {
g.drawImage(map[x][y], 0 + (x * 32), 0 + (y * 32),
32 + (x * 32), 32 + (y * 32), 0, 0, 32, 32, this);
}
}
}
}
My question is, would you guys recomend this and also is there a easier way to render Tiles to the screen?
paintComponent(...). This will allow for much more efficient drawing.Another alternative is to put your tiles into ImageIcons and the Icons into an array of JLabel. For example:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.swing.*;
