But it is indeed a good idea, since it doesn't need extra (slow) copying. wasting 2 sprites for borders indicated you want to smooth scroll.. WHY smooth scroll ! sd-sn didn't too .. does sd-sn. suck ? :) You waste lotsa vdp speed with this, better use 8x8 'scroll' and have more vdp power left for characters running around.. etc. Smooth scrolling is the entire idea of my engine. If there was no smooth scrolling I wouldn't have made the engine! If smooth scrolling is possible (and it is), then why not? It looks much, much better. And when looking at the speed, SD-Snatcher sucks, yes. Bad example. Ys II has a good engine, very fast and multilayer... That's a good example. By the way, would somebody have objections against an engine based on 16x16 tiles??? (that would make my engine faster and I then won't have to make a nifty workaround for the current speed problem I have). a top-view game like Bastard could be 16x16.. a bird-view rpg is better when using 8x8... more detailed editing..

idea, since it doesn't need extra (slow) copying.
Let's forget about an entire area covered by
fences, then. :) I guess some NES games use
this technique.
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' :)
The main character could be sprite-based, while
others could be shapes. Is it possible? Is it
any good?
no!
all characters should be true bitmaps!

I think it's a better idea to turn off all sprites, since VDP copy commands are a lot faster when sprites are off. And you will need copy commands for the largest part of the screen anyway. Instead of a border mask using sprites, you can either use the Space Manbow option (hardware border mask if you have V9958, no border mask if you have V9938) or make a border using VDP commands (block fill is very fast).

about generic game engines
I was writing a generic game engine for action games. The engine was going to be full screen in YJK/RGB mode (screen 10). Actually this engine was the reason I implemented MSX2+ support in BrMSX. However, I stopped working on it, and I'm now working on a new engine, this time optimized for ADVRAM (users without ADVRAM will be able to use this new engine, at lower framerates). If you want to see what this engine was going to look like, just download the beta version at: http://www.lsi.usp.br/~ricardo/msx/tmnt10.zip Notice the big sprite and the real-time shadows. The speed for this version is: MSX2+ @ 3.57: 8 frames/second MSX2+ @ 7.14: 17 frames/second Turbo-R R800: 40 frames/second ADVRAM will be much faster than this, even on 7MHz systems.

Re: games
doom clones suck ! whatever the 'story' is.. it's 'shoot every thing that moves' Actually, I don't have nothing against "Shoot eveything that moves"...I love Aleste 2! :-), Yeah, those Doom clones are usually crap, they are all the same, and they still make sucess...that's my point! RPGs are even better! (When they are well done, of course) but an rpg like Lands of Lore ][ *is* fun to play.. even as it is a 3d engine.. that's the main point here! I think there are lotsa ppl outthere who can draw and compose by themself but can't release anything because of coders slipping away to uni/pc.. well. :) if konami makes the story, gfx and music.. gamebuilder 'could' be ok.. :) I still don't know what is gamebuilder... It's a "game creator"? Is a game engine made by Konami? Where I can find it?
