ARCAN'S PROFILE

I would so play that.

That's not a bad sentiment. I always believe that setting boundaries promotes creativity. On the same token, I think that allowing a multitude of chipsets will promote more entries, and grant more ideas to everyone involved.

I agree that boundaries bring out more creativity in some cases. For example if we are using a specific tileset the limited use of tiles forces people to try to use the tiles in creative ways which is what I enjoy most about that.

Allowing the contestants more choices certainly makes the contest more appealing but it also requires more work which takes more time and less people end up finishing. My big problem with that is if a choice of chipset is allowed I will always end up having to splice and edit chipsets otherwise I won't feel like I tried my best. But I suppose a rule against editting would fix that. I'd probably participate either way but I like the one tileset idea because many people are used to it and it focuses more on mapping.

Lock pan doesn't make it stop panning it only sets the location with respect to the character. I think what you do is set the speed to 0.

I'm pretty sure you don't just "import" tiles into xp and if you actually tried to it would take a lot of work on tiling and even more on mapping and even if you just lie it would be glaringly obvious to everyone what you did since doing that would be totally impractical.

You know you could have taken a bigger picture.
