[Gambas-user] Just some questions to Kevin Fishburne

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi Kevin,

I make it public, because it's about coding.

It is just a few remarks/questions about your game:

1) Why do you want to rotate the game background? It will be always too slow 
until you rewrite everything using OpenGL, so I suggest you drop that idea 
meanwhile.

2) You asked for a DrawAlpha() method for compositing different ground layers 
while cutting them up as far as I understood. Am I right? In that case, why 
don't you pre-computed all these layers, so that you don't have to do that 
during the game?

3) If you don't have to use DrawAlpha() during the game, you will be able to 
use OpenGL very easily I think. Then you will be able to implement the 
rotation very easily too, and the speed will be ok (unless you don't have 3D 
acceleration of course).

Sorry if what I said is out of topic!

Regards,
