  I've thought a bit abut this for an (amateur)
project I'm about to start. I came to the conclusion
that I will store the tiles as a simple mesh, then
render a tileset at the start of a level/room or if
the resolution changes. Nice and cacheable (especially
on a PC where you can dump it to disk afterwards).
