Introduction

Well, here's another attempt at bringing a little information into the world that seems to be a problem for some of you out there. This article will quickly go over scrolling a map view using a tile engine.

I will not be showing how to make a tile blitting routine. If you're reading this, I'm assuming you already have one. What I will be showing is a way to use your tile blitter to render a view, and a very simple one at that. It will consist of one layer.

Also - I didn't have time to add some graphics, but if I get some response, I'll put it in html format and add some pictures.

With that all said, let's get on with it, shall we?
