Problem description:
I'm working on a game inspired by the older Legend of Zelda games. I wrote a script to interpolate screen cells (the panning seen moving from one screen to another). It more or less works fine, though it does have an issue (which might be a processing issue) that causes the interpolation to chug fierce when the cells have larger integers than 0,0.
I've included a gif demonstrating this issue.
If any of you more experienced folks might have an idea or need further information, please let me know (and yes that code could be written better, of course).
