help a newbie
Just browsing through, but thought I might give a quick hack to at least clean up the visual side of this problem. If you're using tiles of 32x32 for example, draw a black border of this size right around the screen before performing the screen swap. Ok you will lose some of the screen res but this is the quickest/dirtiest way I can think of. Of course more experienced DirectX programmers will know more than I do......
You have to check if a tile is on the edge of a screen first, then ajust the source and destination rect's acordingly. So if your tiles are 32x32 and you are bliting your first tile in the upper left and half of the tile is off the screen then you would change your both your rect's left field to 16. Or you could use a clipper, but I think that this way would be faster.
