Advanced Tile Loader- empty tiles

Post by luaz »

Since indexing is impossible if the tile is empty (giving you an error), what to do with them? My plans include parallax scrolling, which says "no blocks for background." And even if that is somehow possible through the use of multiple layers in Tiled (but I'm not aware of a way to do it), I wouldn't be able to use SpriteBatches. (whatever that is, I just know that it improves performance. :awesome: )
If you're going to reply to my post, consider posting an (preferably working) example - 99.7% of time time, I already know how to implement the feature theoretically! ;) I don't learn very well from references, etc....

I had that thought, but isn't that heavy on performance? Especially on video memory.
