Hehe, I accidentally made a weird inverse function 1/(1-ROW%/239). Not sure what I was trying to do there, but at least it accidentally turned out cool! It would make an EXCELLENT text scroller.
So it wouldn't be possible for your program to load a bg map and have a sprite in the middle like Mario kart or f-neko(Japanese game, check smileBasicsource.com then go to resources, then go to games and programs list then find it)?
What he's saying is that you can't achieve the same effects with background tiles. It would be possible, just use SPPAGE to make the sprites use BG tiles. It would be limited, though. You wouldn't be able to rotate it very easily.
