tile based game

[Robman1]

how would i go about making a game with a tile based format? My goal is to replicate the warhammer 40,000 playing experience. I have the idea of using guidlines and having each point as a movie clip in which you would tell a "piece" to attach to. This would give the effect of it moving in that direction. How can this be done?

hey man that really is a great source and its ganna help a lot. Now i would like to ask everyone what kind of game you may want to see. I am definitely doing a warhammer 40000 game but someone suggested a halo version that would be similar look to the zelda snes game. Im open for suggestions.

I think he means the original Metal Gear without the new fangled 3d graphics and such. :)
