Today I wanted to make something I haven't made in awhile, a moving background map while you move your guy around. Except this time I wanted to see if I could do it without an already-made graphic file to use it with. So I figured out how to randomly generate a 3000 x 3000 graphic and save the file as a BMP picture file, which after loading and calculating, it deletes the 30 mb file (or so) that it makes. Feel free to add your own graphics to it. I added a lot of comments in the code. It was Felippe that originally posted how to make something like this probably around a year ago or 2. But I haven't seen much use of it. I used it with my Cave Fighter game awhile back, using the already made picture file. This one shows how to make each game or app have a randomly generated map each time you make it so it's different every time. This map generates random sized houses in different locations and round rocks. That's all I have for it so far so I might create a game with it or something later on. Feel free to do what you wish with it of course. Oh, I also made the guy move his arms and legs as he walks and he walks using the arrow keys. This isn't a game since there's nothing to achieve, but it's an example of how to make this. So when you are done just press Esc or the X.
Also, it would probably be best to put this in its own folder since it generates the explorer-map.bmp file and it automatically deletes it after it's done loading it. I got the BMP saving code from the Wiki pages and I added a couple of modification lines to it to show the timer in the Title Bar on how long it will take to finish loading (calculating) it before you can use it.
Note: I just noticed that it uses around 378 MB of RAM, just so you know.
Enjoy!
(Code deleted: Much better code a few pages from this post, without the extra .bmp file or loading time and much less memory RAM.)

Nice work.
Some remarks:
1.
It's not clear to me why you save to a BPM, then load the BMP and then delete the BMP again?
If you remark SaveImage, _LoadImage and Cls and change map to map2& it's way quicker
2.
Take care to _FreeImage after use (_FreeImage map2& after save)
3.
In your build & save loops use $checking:off|on once it works

Hi Sierra Ken. I took the liberty of modifying your program so that you don't have to save or delete anything from your hard drive. The reason why the graphics are generated so slowly is the use of the slow PAINT command and also the small step in some loops. Just an information, the same thing as DEL does the KILL command, so you don't need to use SHELL (it's not needed at all in the mentioned modification anyway).

I have to agree I have no idea why you create and delete the BMP unless you have other plans for the sub that aren't used here in this program.
_freeimage doesn't matter unless you want to free up ram because Map2& will not be called later in the program, as it will be cleaned up when the program ends as it was created in the main module.

I like in-program generated graphics.
I fiddled with it for a couple seconds and changed the key handling code in the navigation to only use one call to _keyhit to handle the direction moved instead of 4 calls to _keydown. Not sure if it saves many (if any) cycles but it structures things to make room for collision testing later if you want to add any and it eliminates the need for if then's that don't relate to user input.
Code: (Select All) kd = _KeyHit
Select Case kd
Case keyUP
player.y = player.y - playerSpeed: t = t + 1
If player.y < 0 Then player.y = 0
Case keyDOWN
player.y = player.y + playerSpeed: t = t + 1
If player.y > _Height(map) Then player.y = _Height(map)
Case keyLEFT
player.x = player.x - playerSpeed: t = t + 1
If player.x < 0 Then player.x = 0
Case keyRIGHT
player.x = player.x + playerSpeed: t = t + 1
If player.y > _Height(map) Then player.y = _Height(map)
Case Esc
End
End Select

Petr, yours doesn't work. The guy only moves to the 800 x 600 area and then it stops. Remember, this is a giant 3000 x 3000 map, not a small one. And the map moves while you press the arrow keys. This is why I did make the BMP, because I tried all this already and the only way I could do it is with the BMP image. There still might be a way for someone to make it without the BMP but I have no idea how.

James, I just tried your code. Even though it works a bit differently, I don't like how the man moves a fraction of a distance, then stops, then moves again, when you just press and hold down the arrow key, so I left it how it was.

I was going add the _FREEIMAGE (map2&) command this morning so I just did that. It brings the RAM down to 339 MB or so. Thanks guys for telling me to do that. I also removed some LIMIT 2000's like you said Petr, thanks.

Thanks Petr, but I just found out how to do it myself too! I totally forgot that I made something similar a year or 2 ago so I copied that code. I hope it's OK with you that I use my own code this time. It just feels good that I could do it.  The map is also now 4000 x 4000 and makes no extra files. Plus the RAM memory is down to 109 mb.
(Code deleted, much better version a few pages from here.)
