Hey, just something I noticed, if my array has 3 Z layers, it creates everything 3 times. Is it better to have 3 arrays with 1 Z layer then?

I can't believe my eyes —@, this "for each element" is impressive, it loads instantly! Thanks a lot!!!

It probably takes a little longer because I'm not using 2 loops anymore. The X "loop" I made using a global variable, and the Y loop is an actual loop. I did this because using only loops freeze the game during it, and by doing it this way, I can have a cool loading bar that works

I made a level which is 65x45 and it takes 4 seconds to load, but takes 6 seconds once I export the game (can anybody explain this?).

The game is in alpha stage, you can download it here and have a look: Download: direct link - 4mb

Its basicaly this:

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/tKxlC.jpg" border="0" />

At the start of the frame I start loop X, and it starts loop Y. Then I select a tile by comparing its X and Y to the current Loop Index. Then I compare the array value, if its 1 or greater, the tile is visible, if its 0 the tile is invisible
- this takes roughly 12 seconds
Then I have this:

If the value is 2,3,4 or higher, it means there's an object to be loaded
- now it takes 36 seconds :/

I'm making a level editor that saves each block value to an .ini file. It takes roughly 25 seconds to load a level 100x100 blocks. I'm using 2 loops to read the ini, one for the X and one for the Y

How can I speed it up? Would an array be faster?

Would be nice to have the command "Change collision mode" for tile object, since it can be set to solid, so I could change the collision mode from "bounding box" to "none" and vice versa
