We're currently working on a school project where we are going to make a very simple little game, but here is my problem:

I currently have a text document in which I write coordinates where I want to place a certain sprite using "streamreader" formatted like this: CoordinateX:CoordinateY:texturename.
I have made another classfile called "level" with methods with get and set functions for each value.

Code

while ((k = blockposition.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                string[] database = k.Split(':');
                tilestemppos.X = float.Parse(database[1]);
                tilestemppos.Y = float.Parse(database[0]);
                tilestexturess = database[2];
                tilesposlist.Add(new level(tilestemppos.X, tilestemppos.Y,tilestexturess));
            }

Here it adds the strings and floats from the text document into the list "List<level> tilesposlist = new List<level>();".

Code

for (int i = 0; i < tilesposlist.Count; i++)
            {
                tiles_pos.X = tilesposlist.ElementAt(i).blockpositionX;
                tiles_pos.Y = tilesposlist.ElementAt(i).blockpositionY;
                spriteBatch.Draw(tiles, tiles_pos, Color.White);
            }

Here it draws the "tiles" sprite which is a Texture2d using the correct coordinates.

Now I want the program to check the "tilestexturess" in the text document and change the "tiles" texture to the correct texture from all the textures I have.

I was thinking of having another list where I put all textures and then make it check if the names match. How do I do this in the most simplest form?

Is there an opportunity to save an incorrect texture name? All I can think is checking the texture file exists which does not require a collection.

What would be the easiest way to make the program check if the texture file exist? Do I need to put all textures into a list?

It looks like you have the tiletemppos.X taking the Y value and vice versa for the other.
