Make an array of a map like this

map = {
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,
1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,
1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
}

just as an example make 1 = water and 2 = grass(walkable) and 3 = house... what you do is keep track of where the character is on the map and depending on that and what space the character will move to next you can say...

tileUp is a function that looks for the tile above the character

if tileUp = water or tileUp = house then canWalkUp = false end

hope this gives you an idea.

I just have one comment to add to the above poster. Use numbers that aren't walkable on in the thousands (water would be 1000, a mountain maybe 1001, etc.), and those tiles that are walkable on everything under that(grass = 0, path = 1, etc).

I've gone the route of making a RPG and it just makes it easier to keep them separated. Keep it organized its a big project I'm sure. Good luck!
