Hi,

Quick question, I've just started a new tile based game, scolling maps and
all that, all the ones I''ve done in the past have always been blocks so
I've never had to worry about running up hills sliding down them etc. the
way I've seen discused in the past is to have a second map with black and
white versions of the tiles, white being solid, so I look ahead to see what
is coming up if the pixel is white I would need to look up a pixel to see if
the next one is white, is there an easier way of doing it, can anyone point
me in the direction of an online tutorial or article on this?

Cheers
Nigel
