Hi,

I am new to Squeak and I'd like to create some sort of tile-based 
graphical RPG (something like Angband or NetHack) in Squeak. I know 
there's lots of ways to create the graphic output but I'm not sure which 
is the right one.

First of all, I'll create a file tiles.png in PhotoShop, which will 
contain the "palette" of all tiles that can appear in the game: 
Monsters, items, wall, floor section, player etc... Then I'll import 
this graphics to Squeak

tiles _ Form fromFileNamed: 'tiles.png'

Then, I create SystemWindow (or should I use something different?) in 
which the main game map will appear. Now, I need the method that will 
simply put 16x16 area of the tiles form at an arbitrary coordinates into 
the SystemWindow while taking into account the transparency of original 
png file so that I can i.e. display the floor section and a chest 
standing on this section. Which method should I use?

Thanks for any help.
