I think the subject tells it all.  I have been trying to work on a tile
based scrolling type of rpg game for three days now and right now I am
stuck on a particular part.  One of which is speed!  What I have done is
loaded all the tiles into a two dimensional array (ie. BITMAP
*Map[100][75] ) and I later declare Map[x][y] = create_bitmap(40,40) ...
well thats a lot of memory used but I thought it would save on speed
later, BUT I still have slow downs!! If anybody can help on this, I
WOULD REALLY REALLY REALLY BE GRATEFUL!!!!!
