I am making a scrolling city game. It MUST be scrolling.

Here's what I need:

+ I saw what this scratcher had made and wondered if I could incorporate this into my own, however I would need it to work with a scrolling background. You see the build mode could work fine as a still image, but the view mode would have to be scrolling or there is no point me making a city game at all because that is my passion.

I'd make sprites with a birds-eye view for each of the building-types and have those set to cycle the screen based on a universal x and y variable. Scrolling with a limited number of spritse (say, 12?) would run faster than with, say 225 sprites for a 15x15 grid. Reusing the same sprites can be tricky, but the actual formula can vary depending on sprite size of the blocks. The basis is that the "real X coordinate" of a sprite is equal to (X+adjusting number % 480), or something like that. This is an interesting idea. I'd love to check my math for you, but I'm running short on time right now, sorry hmm
