OK
As promised here's the link to what I'm up with so far with my 2D platform engine.
It's Blitz basic 2.1 OCS/AGA compatible.

Nothing big but pls check it out and let me know what you think.
When time arrives I'll unveil more and maybe start a separate thread as well.
@Galahad
is it something you are thinking about too?
please forget about the lame and just-for-test-purposes graphics - time will come to improve that.
for now I test my approach to basic collisions and level scrolling.
more things to come - soon.
the "engine" now is not rocket-science - just some basic ideas quickly implemented.
I spend more on the workflow and the tools. and I can elaborate more if you are interested.
