[ [0, ' '], [1, 'X'] ]

Where the 0-tile is your standard background tile. Or whatever else you want. It can be any configuration you like.

I’m wondering, though, how to eliminate the ‘null’ value in my asciiArtToMap parameter. I want every tile covered with an image in my tilemap. No nulls!

If null is required, is there a way to specify an image for null rather than being empty?

In theory we could change the name to map.tilemap and then we’d change that third argument in the call to ’tilemap’, but the problem is that there is a lot of code in Akihabara that just assumes that the array is called map.map. For a future version of Akihabara we should either hardcode it to map.map (and get rid of the confusing third argument), or make everything more flexible.

I started expanding to include multiple tile layers and stumbled on this question:

In the tileCollision method like your example here:
toys.topview.tileCollision(this, map, ‘map’, null, { tolerance: 6, approximation: 3 });

What does the third argument ‘map’ signify?

Thanks again!
