A tile based engine is really nice, which I think is what you're suggesting. However the camera system I use to scroll background maps while keeping track of where the sprites should be drawn based on camera position doesn't play well with tiles. Plus I don't think the efficiency trade off would be worth it, just my opinion.


Alright, just wanted to check how much free rein I had over this and any specifications you wanted.
