Wow, those tiles are fantastic! I am also pleased to find that I actually made a map editor for Amber (though not very user friendly). I completely forgot about it.

Also, speed-wise, 4-level gray and 3-level gray LCD updates are about the same speed, and since the tilemap runs from an interrupt and is animated, you could technically make the tiles animate at about 40FPS while allowing movement (and this is at 6MHz). However, there are a handful of difficulties including how to handle grayscale backgrounds while a menu is open or text is on the screen, and energy consumption (I am pretty sure grayscale would cause more of a drain than b/w most of the time).

I really do like those 16x16 tiles!

EDIT: Also, my hope is that groups of tiles such as those for whole houses would take up 1 byte when compressed.

I has to scale down to 8*8, because Streetwalker liked having a better view of the map... But still...

That won't stop!

Make me a list of what ya want.

So, we're doing straight 8*8 instead of using 8*8 to make 16*16 (I prefer the 16*16)?

Looking pretty sweet!

Looking sweat, but yeah, these perspectives...

I also think the grass moves too quickly, i'd cut the speed at least in half. Btw, are do the animations continue when the player is moving (unaligned)?
