Anyways, i know how to make a tilemap which is, eg: 20X20. But it sucks. So what i want to know, is how can i make a big tilemap? Lets say, 50X50 or 70X70 or maybe even 100X100.

One thing i have been thinking (very unlikely to work) is to make a picture of the map. Then use quads to split it in pieces sized as one tile. Then generate the map on those tiles.

I'm not sure what the problem is.

Do you mean 100x100 different tiles? Or just a map with 100x100 tiles?

The former is huge (10,000 tiles?), the latter should be perfectly doable.

I have a (buggy) tile based rpg I've been working on. It uses a 100x100 tile map, with each tile as a separate object that carries quite a few values. The general memory usage while running is around 100MB. This is just me testing worst case scenarios though, you should be able to run a map with much less.

Interesting little game, I'd love to see a more polished version! Specifically, if you could fix the PO2 issues that'd go a long way... also, you can cut a quarter meg from your .love just by deleting the thumbs files.

Yeah, this is a working version, I didn't really take the time to clean it up. I'm actively working on it though, so hopefully I can have some kind of release soon...
