I'm going to scrap the design (partly anyway) and go back to the drawing board. I came across some more stuff that I wanted to solve too simplistically. For the initiated: I planned on making regular sprites for platform objects but this is giving me so much trouble that I'll fall back to a
tile engine instead. I also purchased
another book that will step me through the process of making one. As long as I get that part of the engine right, we're in business.
