now some obscure "c script" :)
fence ->
map{
char "a" == grass
char "b" == fenced grass
}
draw map;
put player; (bitmap, no sprite!)
if player(x,y)==fenced grass{
draw fence (without transparant color)
};
so if the player is on a fenced-grass-tile
then
draw grass;
draw player;
draw fence;
using this, your whole map can be fenced.. only that 16x16 player-block
needs extra copying.. (and other map-people too.... NO sprites :)
please, don't bug me about this 'c-code' :)

no!
all characters should be true bitmaps!
