9.5/10 for effort and abuse of pink.

I hope you aren't coding like that.

Both, actually!

2D rendering is simple - you plot each point of the array of pixels (2D array) from one point of view.

3D rendering however adds 3rd dimension of the array, that is much more mathy, not to mention it requires more time and effort than 2D. Then add the variable point of view...

Not to mention raycasting.

Animation is pretty much "dump the image and load/display next image". With some coding you could reproduce that with events, though no doubt it would be slower than sprite animations.

0.98.9 python support is still dodgy, you need to have Python installed, I believe... a specific version, too.

I'd suggest waiting for the next stable version. It can't be that far now.

You guys need these:

What is wrong with simply using an universal Sprite object?

Genetically we're enabled to see Construct with our eyes and input the code with our long, sleek fingers. We've been born for Construct!

There is some Joomla tool that is nominated as the best tool for developers. I was like "WTF has that to do with development?".

However, it will load all textures of one sprite into the memory; if you use a HUGE sprite (with 1000 animations), they all will be loaded.

I'd suggest a compromise - collate theme-related tiles into specific sprites, say "forest", "mountain" and so on. It sure is a good idea from organizational side, at least.
