struct MapObjUDT{    cMapObj *MapObj;      //Pointer to a generic map object base class    cMapObjUDT *NextNode; //Pointer to the next node}struct MapPtUDT{     MapObjUDT *ObjList;  //Pointer to the list head     long Flags;          //Various flags for this spot};

With my map engine, everything is a map object (Tiles, static objects like trees, and entities). Most of the time the very first object is the tile. What this whole system allows you to order any of the objects anywhere so you could actually have multiple levels over any given point and people walking between them.

There are a few things that need to handle that are a bit out of the ordinary, but nothing serious that anyone who has ever dealt with linked lists can't handle.

Good Luck and I hope this helps!
