Question Needing help with Reading Files INTS

[mumbot]

Hello all CSharp coders,

i have started a 2D GameEngine in C# iv already done Color rendering etc but to create the map i want the program to read from a file called SD_ENGINE_gui.txt

the code below is the map grid

w = 1

f = 0

 int[,] level = {
                        {w, w, w, w, w, w, w, w, w, w},
                        {w, f, f, f, f, f, f, f, f, w},
                        {w, f, f, f, f, f, f, w, f, w},
                        {w, f, f, f, f, f, f, w, f, w},
                        {w, w, w, f, f, f, f, w, w, w},
                        {w, f, w, f, f, f, f, f, f, w},
                        {w, f, w, f, f, f, f, f, f, w},
                        {w, f, f, f, f, f, f, f, f, w},
                        {w, f, f, f, f, f, f, f, f, w},
                        {w, w, w, w, w, w, w, w, w, w},
                           };

so i want the program to read that from the .txt file and any changes made in the .txt will change once restarting the .exe. i have tryed many ways to save int values but non work.

Can someone please help me

You could just use an Int32 or Int16 to store the data for each row and use the bits as the flags. You could work with a BitArray in code or just use bitwise AND (&), OR (|) and NOT (!) to get and set individual bits in the numbers.

This is what i have to read the text file but it keeps giving me errors with the ints even when its Int32 or Int16

 try
            {
                using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("content/SD_ENGINE_gui"))
                {
                    level = sr.ReadToEnd();
                    Console.WriteLine(level);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(SD_ENGINE.ERROR);
                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
            }

Keeping the nature of the errors a secret is not conducive to our helping you to solve them. I'd start with that file path though. Is that really the path to a text file?
