I've run into an issue for creating my custome tiles for my game. I don't know if I'm dumb for not doing something right or what but whenever I load up any tile, It says its collidable, but when I run it, the tiles turn into coins.

I don't know what I did wrong. I don't think I placed a dot where it goes when you want a coin.

Help please.

Your tiles probably have a white background instead of a transparent one. Remove the white background from your tileset and try again. If you're working with Paint, you'll need to download either Paint.NET or GIMP; Paint does not have the ability to do transparency.

Wait, would Adobe CS4 Fireworks work?

I think so. I'm not proficient in Adobe software, but as long as it has an alpha channel, it should work.

Thanks, got it. It was the transparency issues with Paint, so I got Paint.NET.
