  No, only that they're drawn several at a time.  The base terrain file is
  online at http://12.243.200.25:80/terrain3.png -- note that, contrary to
  appearences, the tile size is 32x16.  This would be much harder to draw
  one at a time.

again it doesn't sound so. This is the point where I see the biggest
problems. It makes drawing multiple sprites (and you do that if you
create/change a tileset) harder.
