Loading Tile Based Maps from text files

[Adaub7282]

So I am attempting to make tile based maps that will be loaded from a text file. Problem is, there's a problem. "Variable has no data" I am asking the people of compsci, in their infinite Turing wisdom, for guidance.

Turing:

/* Using Tile Based Maps: Version 0.2 ("Pirate") */ /* Aaron Daub */ /* October 6th, yarr */ View.Set ("graphics:300;300") %Here be where I set the screen size var stream : int % And here be where I declare the stream, arrghh var tiles : array 0 .. 14, 0 .. 14 of int %These be my tile arrays open : stream, "map.txt", read %Open the stream, mateys for x : 0 .. 14     for y : 0 .. 14         read : stream, tiles (x, y) %Ponder o'er the data     end for end for close (stream) %Fasten the stream for x : 0 .. 14     for y : 0 .. 14         if tiles (x, y) = 1 then %And 'ere be where the problem lies             Draw.FillBox (x * 20, y * 20, x * 20 + 20, y * 20 + 20, red)         elsif tiles (x, y) = 0 then             Draw.FillBox (x * 20, y * 20, x * 20 + 20, y * 20 + 20, green)         end if     end for end for

You are loading a file as a binary read, while I suspect that you want ASCII get.

Just a guess, but did you really mean to open your stream for read? Read is only used when your file is binary-encoded. If you created "map.txt" in an editor like Notepad, you want to use get, which expects an ASCII-encoded file.
