Tile Map

[Lundager]

I am wondering how do I measure the screen, so I can match an array lets say I have this multidimensional array:

int map[][] =
     {{0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0},
     {0,0,0,0,1,0,1,1,1,0},
     {0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0},
     {0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0},
     {0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0},
     {0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0},
     {0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0},
     {0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0,1,0},
     {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
     {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}};

Where 0 is empty space and 1 is lets say walls
How do I know how many rows and columns I need to have for a specific screen size?
Can I convert pixels to tile size/multidimensional array tile size?

The Toolkit class has a getScreenSize() method that you can possibly use.

Aren't there some mathematical way? Like HEIGHT / Something * WIDTH / Something?? Or what?

Yes. You start with the dimensions of the screen, which you can get via the Toolkit class as I mentioned above, and then you use the row and column counts of your 2-D array and use basic algebra to calculate your values.

Could you give an example? :)
