Hello Mike,
I think the term you mean instead of cell is sprite.
There are two ways to do this. The first involves staying in text
mode, and in my mind isn't worth it. The other way is to use a sprite
routine ( I would reccommend NASR by Jingyang Xu ). The pros and cons:
Text mode:
Pros: less memory taken up, fast
Cons: no smooth scrolling, pain to program
Graphic mode:
Pros: smooth-scrolling sprites, more able, fast
Cons: program is larger, have to understand routines well to use
It's really your call, but I would say go with NASR and just put it
around that way.
Hope this helps,
