So is there any way of real fast 2D blitting? I''m using C and the allegro lib.
How do I get rid of flickering during animations?
The other side is overcrowded
The dead will have nowhere to go
Fast 2D blitting?

Hey, sorry if that''s a question often asked, but I''m a newbie here and can''t tell.
So is there any way of real fast 2D blitting? I''m using C and the allegro lib.
How do I get rid of flickering during animations?

Hi,
To get rid of flickering gfx-objects, use a doublebuffer or triplebuffer. You will probably find info on that stuff on the Internet (somewhere).
Btw, also search for pageflipping, which is almost the same.
Well, the theory is the same.

compiled sprites are the fastest sprites you can blit. allegro does compiled sprites. the easiest way to do a double buffer system with allegro is creating a bitmap the size of the screen, bliting your sprites onto that bitmap, wait for vsync(), the blit the big bitmap to the screen. I have some games that use allegro on my site. if you want some source e-mail me and i'll send it to you. check out my page. it has a few allegro games.

Hmm, what the old myth
It was true for 8086, 286, 386.
Well, sometimes it may work even for 486 (before DX2).
But using compiled sprites now - just trashing of the instruction cache.
