This is not PSP related...

Just google "C tile engine" follow one of the results and you should see how a basic tile engine works,

Most tile engines seem to work in a similar way so it should not take you long to code your own,

Something to get you started...

It's not code for the PSP but worth a look if you have no idea how they work,

Again, not really a PSP question. There are some good tile/map editors out there, and they come with example games that will answer most of your questions. Get one and play around with the examples until you understand how these types of games work, THEN try to port it over to the PSP.

That should be enough to keep you busy for a day or two. :)
