Why?

Well, if I place them as sprites, from what I can make out, these sprites would be classed as 3d sprites, and as such you could create a tile based system, yet have some lighting overhead or even some simple bas-relief to the edges!

Can something like this be done, and if so, what speed issues would there be? Surely this would also be a good sprite-to-sprite collision system in a tile based system.

Yeah you could place sprites but you already have the collision detection, because you're actually using collision detection to place the sprites in the first place. Those 1's in the array for example could be used for collision, so you would have 2 collision detection choices.

Well map(x,y,1) would hold the background, whilst map(x,y,2) would hold the collision-dependent sprites.

Am I right then, that if background (map(x,y,1)) WAS sprite based, you could add things like specular highlights, reflections, etc.

Hmmmm, lots of things going through mind now......

I think you could! I'm not too up to date on DBPro! I have DBClassic. You couldn't do much with DBClassic, although you could have better pixel collision with DBClassic on sprites. Those thin bars you were talking about could be sprites too, that would make them pixel perfect. What I'm really saying is that sprites mixed with arrays gives you speed, and better collision in the end if you mix them properly.

you may have to use plane instead of sprites as I don't think sprite are affected by lights, but plane can work just like sprites and are affected by lights.

Lifes short, try to enjoy it and not take it to seriously!
