More tilelayers[] functionality needed

[0PiX0]

I am developing a platformer / sidescroller. The blocking tiles in my level are above layer 0. I do not want to place blocking tiles on layer 0 beneath my other tiles just to create the blocking effect. My projectiles use tiletype(tx,ty) to check collisions, but there is no support for tiletype above layer 0.

Please add support for level.tilelayers[i].tiletype(tx,ty).

I would rather not have to create a scripted version using level.tilelayers[i].tiles[x,y] since that would be much less efficient.

Also, please add support for parallax scrolling.

Perhaps something like this:

level.tilelayers[i].parallaxscrolling = true;

Then the layers could be scrolled by simply adjusting the x and y of each tilelayer:

level.tilelayers[i].x++;
level.tilelayers[i].y++;

This would allow me to create effects such as repeated scrolling backgrounds, moving clouds, etc. without using multiple npcs.
