I coded up a random demo to play around with the PlanetCute graphics from LostGarden.com (site sadly down at the moment). Code is here, you'll also need my CellGrid library-in-progress somewhere in your load path.
Cute graphics, I especially like the shrubbery. Some of the tiles used for the roof seem a little off though... like they have extra white space around the edges for some reason or something like that.
