Here is a basic tiled map example that uses a single draw call with one vertex buffer to draw the scene.

Hopefully it will prove useful for some of you.

I've updated the archive today and cleaned up the code a bit.

Thanks. Good demo/example.

Would anyone know how to use this without xml/tmx binary files? Anyway to use .png file format without binary and even more so, compress it via zlib? 

Thatd be great asI dont want to be limited to tiles and the editor. Currently trying to load maps of 6,000 pixels wide in segments of about 700 pixels wide and Im hoping to adapt this to such a system.

Could anyone help me out?  Similar to the 2dactiongame demo but thatll load the log background layer 5 times in width.

I'm having problem syncing the sprite with the tilemap. in this code:

public override bool Frame()
        {
            
            CameraPositionX = ( (int)player2.PositionX - screenWidth/2) ;
            CameraPositionY = ( (int)player2.PositionY - screenHeight/2 ) ;
                                
            updatePadTileCam();
                        
            return true;
        }
public void updatePadTileCam()
        {
            var pad = InputManager.InputGamePad;
            
            if ((pad.Scan & InputGamePadState.Up) != 0)
                player2.PositionY -= 5;
        
            if ((pad.Scan & InputGamePadState.Down) != 0)
                player2.PositionY += 5;

            if ((pad.Scan & InputGamePadState.Left) != 0)
                player2.PositionX -= 5;
            
            if ((pad.Scan & InputGamePadState.Right) != 0)
                player2.PositionX += 5;
            
        }

I want the player2(a SampleSprite) to be centered to the camera when I move the player2's position but it seems like the player is going faster than the camera. Need help thanks.

Here is what I use for sprites:

public class Sprite

{

  public Vector2 Position;

  public float Rotation;

  public int Texture;

  public void SetTexture (int tex)

  {   

  Texture = tex;

  }

 public void Draw ()

  {

   Vector2 p;

  p.X = Position.X - Game.CameraPosition.X;

  p.Y = Position.Y - Game.CameraPosition.Y;

  GameTexture tex = Game.Textures[(int)Texture];

  tex.drawAtPointScale (p.X, p.Y, 1.0f, Rotation+180);

}

}
