"OS" routines like what?
The easiest way I can think of to do that kind of thing is to simply write
gfx directly into a chunky buffer drawing the tiles from top to bottom to
get the display order right (you could Z-buffer but thats probably way over
the top), then to blit that onto the screen using ChunkyPPC library or your
own C2P/GFX card renderer.
Of course this will only be fast on 040+'s, if you want fast on 030 or less
then you'll have to draw the tiles down once then mask sprites in the right
places, which might work well if you draw a Z-Buffer down or something
