Would this graphics engine be of any use?

I've got an animated character that can walk and jump around on a 
scrolling tiled landscape loaded from a 1000x1000 image map. (The area 
shown in the minimap is the central island of this "zone":

The efficiency, hence speed, is poor because it's currently drawing a 
whole screen's worth of tiles every frame. The graphics shown are ugly 
because I haven't thought of what way to handle transitions between 
terrain types, and because I drew them. (I'm proud of that tree though!) 
Anyway, it's usable to display a large tiled landscape with an animated 
character; you could theoretically hook that up to the typing system.
