Let's say I have a array of numbers denoting a tilemap (64x64) and a player x,y coordinate. I also have a viewport (in tiles). Using those, I can create a 5x5 tilemap (viewport) with a player x,y and draw it like so:

The problem I am running into is that when I grab the layer[] array... I have to comb through the whole arrayset.
Could I just not grab the tiles needed and send over 25 array (5x5) elements instead of the whole map (400 array elements)
