No of dif tiles in backgrounds

[broan496]

I don't know if this is the right place to put this. But I need to know the average number of different tiles you use for the background in screen 13 assuming tiles are 16 x 16. Thank you.

I use 7x25 tiles because they are easier to deal with. You will have 324 on the screen at one time.

i fill the whole screen with tiles.
320/16 = 20
200/16 = 12 + .5
you have a row of 8 pixels left over afterwards.
20*2 = 240 different tiles at once, although that's pointless.

i use maybe 20 different types of tiles: grass, water, around 8 tree types, and extra.

The more the merrier. But I only limit myself to 64 KB blocks. ;*)

What I do sometimes is I use 160x100 tiles. That way I can have 4 tiles on the screen at once! Perfect for Bomberman-type games.

Yes, but reading the rest of his message, and interpreting what he's saying, the other guys got it right. He's asking how many tiles on one screen.

Agamemnus, you CANNOT assume that newbie idiots know how to type with proper grammar. They don't. Ever.

very reasonable, but calling people idiots won't help...

Yeah, you're probably right.

I use 100. But i do recall making a game that supported over 1000+ tiles per level.
