Hey, I'm using tilemap :P

I guess a separate project for tilemaps built on Dgame would be 
cool. I might look into this during the semester break.

One thing that would be cool is some sort of support for 2D 
physics. It's probably outside Dgame scope but as a separate 
project that keeps a consistent API with Dgame would be nice. 
Kind of like the way SDL, SDL_image, SDL_ttf all do.

Cool, two new projects for me to look into when I should be 
studying :)
