1. RE: Masking
maybe i could get it to run even faster if i did both tasks at once...
i need to make a copy of the pixels from the location on the screen where
the new ones are going, before puting my image onto the screen. this is so
that i can put them back when im done displaying the picture. i only want
to copy the pixels where the non-transparent pixels of the image are going,
the rest i'll fill out with the transparent color.
i should tell you that i am not writing directly to the screen, instead i'm
putting all the bitmap information into a sequence the same size as the
screen, then displaying that on the screen - it reduces flicker.
at the moment, it works. it just runs like shit through a seive. please
help :)
thanks in advance.
