Tile-based maps

Hi there! I'm having some difficulties. Actually, I don't even know where to start. Now, I've created plenty of games, but they generally have static, non-scrolling backgrounds. It didn't even occur to me until recently that there's a whole concept in game creation I hadn't hit on: tile-based maps. So here's my question: how?!? I don't expect anyone to write any code for me, but a few steps in the right direction would help. I've just completely drawn a blank on this, and I know that there's no reason technically I shouldn't be able to do it or come up with a way to do it myself...but no matter how I twist my mind around it, all I end up doing is getting frustrated. =) Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Note: I'd probably end up using Neil for this. Regards, Greg Phillips
