so im trying to have a map and a moveable sprite on screen however there's a error in 0:5 that is the right way to do that right?

I guess your filename is too long. In my opinion, the length limit of filename is twelve or fourteen.

i changed it back to its original name (mapice) and it still wont go ive even rearranged the code and it still wont go

What error have you been given?

a mismatchthen fixed that then a out of ranged error

What line have an out of range error occured? I point out a couple of suspicious points in your program as follows. 1) The array name applied in line 5 (LOAD) and line 7 (BGLOAD) are unmatch. 2) You have not defined BG layer #3 as 64*64 map yet.

how do i go about that then also here's the code

1) Write "BGSCREEN 3,64,64" in line 2. 2) Replace line 7 with "BGLOAD 3,0,0,64,64,STR_MAPICE0".

it worked but it didn't load the map but it worked so progress

You should save map data with "SCSAVE" button instead of "SAVE" button in map editor of smile tool. Four map files (SC_xxx_L0 to SC_xxx_L3) will be yielded, and you write one of them as an argument of LOAD in line 5.

do i have to write each layer its own code

Yes. Before you load map data which has been made and saved with smile tool into a BG layer, you have to redefine the size of the layer larger than or equal to 64*64 with "BGSCREEN N,64,64" (N is BG layer number you've chosen), because default size of each BG layer is 25*15.

like that

I'm sorry my advice was unclear. You seem to use BG layer #3 only. In this case, you don't need line 1,3,4,7,8 nor 9. And you should write "64,64" instead of "30,20" in line 2.

actually i need gener layer two so which lines do i need

Try to replace above line 12 with the following codes. BGSCREEN 0,64,64 DIM STR_GENERIC[0] LOAD "DAT:SC_GENERIC_L2",STR_GENERIC BGLOAD 0,0,0,64,64,STR_GENERIC

so i went through the old code because i couldn'tget what you said to work and i found a acls right above the sprite animation code so am i doing this correct also now it keeps saying type miss match in 0:6

Could you download a program with the key NDY5JEWD and store it in your current folder? Please download it asap because I'll keep it on the cloud server temporarily. Try to run and refer to the program.

got it

so how do you code collision also here's the map

Each BG tile has its own number, and you can get a tile number under the coordinates X, Y with BGGET function. Could you download my program with the key NRY5XEAD and try to run and refer to? The above-mentioned BG tile number under the player sprite appears on top left corner of the screen.

how do you use bgget

Could you refer to line 25 of my second program? This is how to apply BGGET. It substitutes BG tile number under player sprite for variable C.

there is no line 35

Not line 35 but 25. If you press help(?) button on keyboard, you can see the help document of any command/function.
