I hate to kinda answer my own question but in doing a little research I came
up with a possible solution. If you have two bitmaps, one representing the
background, and the other just a simple black and white image containing
lines outlinging the objects ( this can easliy be created in Photoshop for
example ). Then you check the character position to this non-displayed
bitmap and if he's trying to move into or through a line then he can't.

Thanks for the ideas and if anyone has anything better feel free to share!!
