A room full of robots. Clicking a robot moves the camera to- and sets focus on- the robot. Moving the camera while it is focused on a moving object will move the camera in relation to the object. Easing isn’t supported at the moment. I’ll see if I can make use of the easing functions on their own instead of within transitions.
There are discontinuities on the edges of the map where sprites will disappear and reappear depending on whether they’ve looped from your perspective. The problem is cosmetic. The objects’ positions in the level are all correct. I’ll have to look into that.
I don’t plan to support 2.5D isometric maps. That would open a whole 'nother can of worms.
I looked at the NES metatiling example link. I’m always amazed by what game designers of the day were able to achieve with such incredibly limited hardware capabilities!
