Well, actually, now that I think about it, most of what I've
seen is kind of different than what the TK uses; it's taking tiles
and scrolling through them by just changing the center point. Heh,
let me explain. Let's say you're guy was just sitting in the middle
of the screen all the time, and instead of him moving around, the screen
around you was just moving. That's basically it. Kind of hard to explain,
like I said..;) I suppose though, you could have, in your movement code, like
a quick animation of the character moving through the tile to the next one. Though that
would probably be pretty CPU consuming. Um, I'm
kind of tired tonight and I know I must not be making sense. That's what my bunnies
seem to think, so I'll just stop now..
Ahem..
