I'm a new hobbyist programmer, starting with Python. I run a blog at blog.tankorsmash.com which chronicles my struggles with Python, C# and now Javascript/jQuery. It's always a good time.

I also tweet a lot at @tankorsmash. I'm always looking to meet new people, so make sure to say hi!

May 9	comment	How to detect whether or not a tile is occupied? Alright, so then the 2D array is definitely the consensus. Thank you for the the clarification as well as the detailed answer!

May 8	comment	How to detect whether or not a tile is occupied? Is an array like that the best solution for doing all things tile related though? Thanks for the quick answer. I'm not that deep into gamedev yet, but I did use arrays for a roguelike I worked on a while back. It doesn't seem like it could be as dynamic as what I want to use it for. I'm probably wrong though.
May 8	comment	How to detect whether or not a tile is occupied? @jhocking 825 tiles total, on a 800x600 pixel screen, with each tile being 25x25. I'm using Python, which is said to be slow, but who knows. I've changed the lines of code to: `for tile in TILES: pass` and the game still takes a 10FPS or so hit. edit: Also note that the `coords` attribute has 625 coords in it.
