The docs for the cocos2d tile mapping stuff are thin, but the API is
well-documented and the two test files (test/test_tiles.py and
test/test_tmx.py) give a pretty good code starting point.

Thanks I didn't realise there were some examples. I think I will go with cocos2d

I am trying to make a top down tile based rpg (with randomly generated terrain) and I have managed to draw the tiles on the screen in a batch and move them when the player presses a key. I am pretty new to pyglet so this is probably the worst way to do it.

if keys[key.W]:
      for a in tiles_1:
          a.y -=5

Right now I am trying to do it like that ^ 

However when I have a map larger than about 700 tiles it fails to run quicker than 3 fps. I have been looking around and seen lots of stuff about off screen culling and textures but I haven't any idea how to do this as I couldn't find any tutorials. I also had a look at cocos2d and it seems to be exactly what I want but again I wasn't sure where to start with tile scrolling. Any help or examples would be a huge help :)

Thanks
