Tile-based games!

[SyntaxBubble]

I am making a tile-based game. I want to create a struct for the data from the level file. I have this:

struct TILE
{
int TEX; // Holds texture ID
int *DIM; // Holds number of x, y tiles
};

how would I create a loop and use sscanf(); to extract the amount of x, y tiles. And then, get the numbers on each tile. For example:

11111
12221
12221
12221
11111

Any help is appreciated!

i designed my own file type (use binary output not ascii)

something like this

[width-unsigned integer]
[height-unsigned integer]
[each tile structure, starting with 0,0]

then you just read in the width and height, create your array
and start populating with two for loops
pretty simple stuff once you get the idea of creating your own file type

My games kind if tile based so have a look if you want
