I'd suggest making a tilemap and checking for collision with the tiles.  I
started working a tilemap section for 86 Central (http://ti86.acz.org/),
though not much is there beyond explaining the basics and showing you how to
draw a map fast (as fast as you can do it using a separate sprite
routine...I knocked about 20,000 t's off it [each layer of a screen sized
aligned tilemap] by integrating the sprite routine and the map drawing).

All of you newbies wanting to learn tilemaps, please check it out and tell
me what you want to know (what I should add).  Would explaining how to make
a little guy walk around a screen sized tilemap be helpful?
