layers?

[Zulithe]

I don't understand why Graal only has one layer for graphics

Why not multiple layers? It would make it slightly harder to make levels but it would be easier to make really cool levels. Like this for example. How about each Graal Level is made up of 3 layers:

layer 1: the background layer. drawn beneath the layer where the player walks. say you were on a very high mountain and there is a forest behind it, the forest would scroll as you walk to give a more realistic feeling of movement

layer 2: this is the layer that the 'ground' is drawn on, where the player walks

layer 3: this is the layer where obstacles go where a player can't walk. like posts or the trunk of a tree

layer 4: this is the topmost layer, drawn above everyting. this would be good for clouds, the tops of trees, etc.

Graal kinda has its own layer system build in but it would also be cool if it was like this. Sure, it probably will NEVER be like this but it is kinda a neat idea.
