Would this graphics engine be of any use?

I've got an animated character that can walk and jump around on a
scrolling tiled landscape loaded from a 1000x1000 image map. (The area
shown in the minimap is the central island of this "zone":

The efficiency, hence speed, is poor because it's currently drawing a
whole screen's worth of tiles every frame. The graphics shown are ugly
because I haven't thought of what way to handle transitions between
terrain types, and because I drew them. (I'm proud of that tree though!)
That's a pretty sweet tree, dude. :D
Anyway, it's usable to display a large tiled landscape with an
animated character; you could theoretically hook that up to the typing
system.
It's a cool engine for sure, but I believe CC is making a Raiden-type
japanese shooter (bullet-dodging type thing.) Hope you don't mind me
answering for you, Charles.
