Also Heyleia, if anything the tilemapper would actually go slower. It's still drawing the same number of sprites (remember, each 16x16 is actually 4 8x8's) and it also has to draw the sprites that are completely off the screen, unless I do some massive ops

So this will never run on a 83+ with smooth scrolling ?

thats why I wanted to have like zelda or pokemon maps. a little scrolling but you walk of screen and come back on the other side

Yeah, that is what I proposed. I think it would gain speed but not seeing further than the edge of the screen can be annoying

So there is no solution
Maybe we should make yet another poll ?

Also, tomorrow I leave for one week. So I couldn't be of any help
(But if Notch made that in 2 days, I don't think you need me)

Never said it wouldn't I'll try to optimize the best I can and see how it turns out. Also, there's really no need to make more and more polls, it's always better to be doing ^^

Name has been altered for your viewing pleasure.

I would like to express my anger about a lot of games that don't work on my 83 +, due to a scrolling engine that uses 4 levels grayscale, just to look a little more pretty.

That's why I suggest to make an option to display the tilemap in 3 lvl of grayscales (!If full)  or 4 lvl (to lucky owners 84+). It mean we have to make 3 bytes to 8 pixels of sprite&tile. However, I don't think display 4 level grayscale in a menu is a problem on 83+, here I espacially think about Workbench, furnace, chest.. system.

Bottom an example of 3 lvl grayscales sprites&tiles :

Just to be clear, 3-level grey will not be faster than 4-level grey. The same amount of sprites will be drawn to the screen. I'll try to keep it in Normal mode as long as possible, but no guarantees.

Saintrunner those are great for now. I'm asking around to see if anybody's figured out that map generator so I can get to writing those routines >>
