In my dire need to make TiledMaps render smoother, I figured out the steps needed to modify Slick2D’s TiledMap class (and the classes effected by it) to accept floats instead of ints, that way you can move the map via float*delta, instead of just straight ints. This will allow your maps to move much smoother around the map.
This process actually ended up being a lot more simple than I had originally thought but I figured I should still share the process anyway, it’s only 6 edits in 3 files. I removed a few edits that didn’t need to be done, to keep this as minimally invasive as possible to Slick2d.
(This is done with Slick2d build #237, the exact lines may differ in your copy)
