Dear Scirra Team,
I recently your blog entry about Tilemaps. I waited for this feature quite long and I am really happy you are starting to implement it! Great Work! But as a read further, I found something I was a little bit "shocked", because most of all other libraries I know in the 2D game development does this as well: Sprite Batching. Even though this is not your target, but the performance will especially increase for the mobile platform when you support internal batching. Why didn't you implemented this? Even for multi layered tilemaps this will kill your framerate. So you will have constantly ONE drawcall in your current tilemap system instead of dependent on the current tile map complexity. Is this difficult in WebGL because not all browsers support ArrayLists? Do you need help to implement a system like this? I was a little bit disappointed... :(
