Two-dimensional games are often tile-based, meaning its display is constructed from squares and/or rectangles merged together seamlessly (more or less).

This small collection of routines load and display individual tiles. A separate tool, called "tileset", creates the tiles from images. Handling of tiles as a map requires extra code, too, which will be a part of Xiqual Real Soon Now(tm).
