@pianofire How many discrete names can one have per map?
One thing I wanted to do for my game jam entry was have my engine use the map as a reference by which it would draw its faux-3d scenery-- but I time boxed myself to like fifteen minutes, and couldn't figure out a good way to "see" what "underneath" the player.
But seeing this, I think what I could have done is name the collision boxes ("wall", "floor", etc.), then sent a "probe" sprite each frame to each neighbor, reading back the names, then drawing the scene using that information.
Instead, the game jam entry just uses a level array. It worked for my tech demo, but wouldn't be extensible long run.

Sorry I have no idea. I don't think that there is a hard limit.The only limit should be down to performance/resources

@pianofire Sounds great, thanks!
