Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
It's NOT called sidescrolling, it's called parallax scrolling, I believe. The scrolling currently implemented in Dink is the flip-screen method. Wikipaedia makes this statement: "A few games scroll normally within a small area but scroll rapidly to flip from area to area". Actually, this mixed-method seems a lot like what was used in Baldurs Gate 1.

I would like to see the implementation of 3D terrain into Dink, along with evolving/merging tiles. See WC3 for those two
