I remember hacking into this with my Expert cartridge to see how it was done. It was so fast and smooth...
It was also a good lesson in design that you don't "need" 1,000,000 sprites.
We do need to get this onto the #ZXNext at some point... It could do a pretty nice enhanced version.
I've now opened up the MercenaryNext repository
Enjoy!

Added #ZXNext "overscroll" mode, where you can scroll beyond a 320x256 screen and off into memory. You can use this to scroll massive in-memory bitmaps without moving or copying anything around.
1Mb would give you a 12 screen wide image.

Back onto the C platform engine.... Once I have it scrolling around, I'll look at a CSpect plugin to play with the level or something...

While I wait for Spectrum Next I figured I might as well play with the development tools and emulators.
ZEsarUX is really good (and emulates a huge number of z80 based machines!)
