Im interested in knowing, how do you store the map data? is it an Int array and the values are the diferent pieces? or is it more complicated then that?

Each map layer is an int array. The map itself is a vector (kind of dynamic length array) of layers.

Interesting, Never Heard of Vector before ill have to look it up, anything Like an ArrayList of int[]? kinda?

In Java Vector was the older type, and synchronized, and since Java 1.2 the container classes were streamlined a bit and ArrayList was introduced, which basically the same as Vecor, just not synchronized.

Also, C++ has a vector type:

Each map layer is a "normal" array of int's though to keep overhead small. Just the map itself stores the layers in a vector type.
