3D dungeon crawler

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I’m looking to develop a 3D dungeon crawler, i was wondering how i would implement a map loader using a .txt file. I want the map loader to read the text file and render a wall when it reads “1”, and nothing when it reads “0”. What would be the best way to go about implementing this feature?

There is no best way.

#3

okay… would you be able to give me some sort of idea how to implement this feature?

#4

Here’s a nice post on the best way to read a text file line-by-line:

Hope that helps.

Hint. Parse each character in each line to figure out which type of object to place.

I just happened to have a project open that reads a CSV file (although mine is seperated by tabs, which I find makes things easier).

		
		Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("./data/maps", file);
		List<String> lines = Files.readAllLines(path);

		int y=0;
		for (String line :  lines) {
			String tokens[] = line.split("\t");
			int x = 0;
			for (String t : tokens) {
                                // Do you what you want depending on t.  x and y are the coords.
				x++;
			}
			y++;
		}

Thanks guys for the help :D, i’ll see if i can get it working today
