[Gambas-devel] bitBlt'ing and fast animation

[machoamerica]

hi there,

five years ago i had a job with a company teaching young (~9 years 
old) kids how to program games using visual basic.  we did a 
frogger clone, a mario clone, a pacman clone, etc.

now i've got a friend with a ~9 year old son who i'd like to teach 
game programming to using free software.  gambas looks great, but 
i'm noticing there seems to be a lack of a canvas part that can be 
bitBlt'ed to, like in VB.  is this the case, or am i missing 
something?

if this is the case, i'm considering trying to add a canvas part. 
do you all have any guess at how difficult this would be?  is it 
just matter of calling out to the qt methods, or is it more 
involved?

thanks,
macho
