This is a question I have wondered for a while... how can you make a huge game world? Where you can scroll around on the screen with a minimap and everything? And how do you load the world, etc, I''m just a stupid newbie please help Also... if I wanna make an RPG (like Rage of Mages or Quest for Glory) where you wander around, going into towns, doing quests, etc, should I have a tile based system? I have no idea how I should do the graphics or anything, I have most of the bare bones code worked out already (like the inventory stuff, items, classes, etc, but no graphics). Thanks

The URL above has a barebones tile system you can check out. After you check this out, figuring out how to scroll through the tiles should be simple. Good luck.
