HI, Well...you don't need conditionals for basic obstacles. If you were, say, making a simple sidescroller, you could create an array of integers and assign them all the value of 1 via a for loop. Then, you could assign selected ones other numbers, representing obstacles. I can't say about more complex systems, but that's how you'd handle a simple one.

I've a question for you game developers who've made games involving mapped out levels. the short of it: How do you do it? Is your map just an array of coordinates with conditional statements that place obstacles at certain points? Or, for games that have levels stored in files, how does that work? I'll admit that in this area, I'm a complete newbie, and therefore don't really understand how to conceptualize it in my head. I'm trying to plan out a game, and the prospect of having to design a level map hurts my head.
