In working on making a simple tile-based 2d game and I was just wondering about something. Say I have a setup like so;

0 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0

0 = grass
1 = water
2 = spruce
And so on

Is there anyway to have more than 9 different types of tiles in a world map? If so I would love to know

1 2 5 12

#

And what exactly do you aim to achieve?

so ive got this jframe, you see the trees and stuff, im able to have 9 different types of tiles, so the grass is one of them the tree is one of them the water is one of them and the sorta carpet thing is one of em. what i aim to achieve is to be able to have more variety in my tiles

#

i dont know the reason it didnt work

#

but

#

when i use single dig numbers it works, being able to load the texture on the world map

#

#

symbols dont work

#

neither do letters
