Nick Gravelyn expanded on the concept here; http://blog.nickgravelyn.com/2010/03/know-when-to-be-lazy/ Admittedly, I haven't really taken a close look at what he did. Apparently he rewrote it all to use a custom pipeline--what I made was parsing the XML at runtime, which could probably get slow on larger maps.

Did anyone benchmark this yet? Can it handle a 9000x9000 32x32 map? How optimized is the code? Did anyone benchmark this yet? Can it handle a 9000×9000 32×32 map?

I don't have any support for tileset files yet. I might do that later. That’s part of the tileset file, not the map file. I don’t have any support for tileset files yet. I might do that later.

Ich made a map with one layer und in the tileset i can see that there are some transparents tiles, so i choose the right color while i imported the tileset but when i use this map in your example, than the tiles are purple and not trancparency can you help me? thx Hello
