Hello, I am trying to find the best way to make a scrolling tile based
game.  I want low resolution, with a virtual screen about 4 times as large
as the visible twice as big in each dimention.  Is it better to use mode x
or 13h?  The best way to use allegro?  How can you double buffer using
hardware scrolling, or is that not needed?  Is there a way to get parallax
effects using hardware scrolling? Any other thingies related to the topic
would be much appreciated.  
Thank you,
Danny E.
