Thanks for the quick response :) You're right, I am blitting all the the
tiles onto the texture. The main reason I was doing this was because
scrolling seemed much easier as I didn't have to worry about offscreen
tiles and stuff like that. However I think I have a plan for making a
simple tile mapper. I have considered a few times using cocos2d but never
made a solid attempt. I will look into it if I can't get a tile engine up
and running :-)
