Animated BitBlt

[SteveCRM]

Fox's demo is a little to complicated so Im going to try by myself for a little bit...would something like this work? (If i used getTickcount to slow it down of course)

    BitBlt BackDC, Guy1.x, Guy1.y, Guy1.w, Guy1.h, Guy1.DC, Guy1.w, 0, vbSrcPaint 'The mask
    BitBlt BackDC, Guy1.x, Guy1.y, Guy1.w, Guy1.h, Guy1.DC, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd 'Guy1

    BitBlt BackDC, Guy2.x, Guy2.y, Guy2.w, Guy2.h, Guy2.DC, Guy2.w, 0, vbSrcPaint 'The mask
    BitBlt BackDC, Guy2.x, Guy2.y, Guy2.w, Guy2.h, Guy2.DC, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd 'Guy2

and then kind of have my main picture switch between these 2? Kind of like this

'this isn't correct keydown stuff but you know what I mean
if keycode = vbkeyright then
   player.picture = guy1 'i've already blted player1
end if
if keycode = vbkeyleft then
   player.picture = guy2
end if

thanks guys

Wouldn't it be better to have two pictureboxes (or even better memory DCs) and just switch the DC in the BitBlt function? I have a feeling that might be quicker.

So have 1 picbox and keep switching DC's?
