Filling a black rect on an inverted display

Ok I solved my problem using these two resources:

How does setBackgroundDrawingCallback work with Tilemaps and setDrawOffset?

Sorry for the late reply--it's been a little busy over here! An odd thing about setBackgroundDrawingCallback() is that the sprite it creates ignores the global draw offset. (The source is in the SDK in CoreLibs/sprites.lua if you haven't seen it, might be useful to check it out.) We mention this in the docs but it's easy to miss: The background sprite ignores the drawOffset, and will not be automatically redrawn when the draw offset changes; use playdate.graphics.sprite.redrawBac…

Timemap is above the player?

@adamprocter or @Gamma Can this be expanded on? Do I have to put it in a sprite everytime it updates? Option 1 local BUFFER_TILES = 20 local TILES_ON_SCREEN = 15 local tiles = gfx.imagetable.new('assets/tilesprite') -- Getting Tiles local map = gfx.tilemap.new() -- Creating Tilemap map:setImageTable(tiles) map:setSize(TILES_ON_SCREEN, BUFFER_TILES) function initializeTiles() for row = 1, BUFFER_TILES do for column = 1, TILES_ON_SCREEN do local block = math.random(…

The gist of it was that I needed to create a tilemap from an imagetable and then convert the tilemap to a sprite, which can then have the z index set.

Thanks for all the guidance and help everyone!
