Hello everybody, I was wondering... what technique is it called when you create a background image and then create a foreground image that is semi-transparent (i.e. like glass sorta, you can see the foreground but also the background throug it) ? Also where is a good place to learn more about how to do this? thanks all!! ~ Boltimus ~

Alphablending...There is a tuturial about that right here on GameDev..If you are doing 2D then keep in mind that it is VERY slow..Don´t overuse it..
