transblit vs. bitblt

[drewski]

I've heard of transblit and I've used bltblit but which is faster? Is it better to make one blit with transblit or would it be better to do two with bitblt?

Thanks for the help,
Drew

what does TransBlt do? I guess it's a specialised form of BitBlt, like StretchBlt is.

[drewski]

Transblit is to make a transparent blt. You set one color to be transparent and it does it for you.

Has anybody else heard of transblt?



Happy coding,
Drew

Here is the site where I found out about transblit.

Look in the tutorials section.

Use DirectX instead - faster, better, easier

[drewski]

That is so typical of you Kenny.

LOL,

Indeed *g*

But he's right

[drewski]

What does *g* mean? You tend to make abreviations that I don't understand such as AFIAK or something like that

[KENNNY]

Fox, do you use DX or are you still using BitBlt?
urghhh I remember using BitBlt..compared to DX it's like using PaintPicture

[Fox]

OK.. Example code :

Public Enum eShortcuts
   AFAIK = As far as I know
   IMO = In my opiniont
   lol = Laughing out loud

   *g* = *grin*
   *s* = *smile*
End Enum

Hehe, Hope this helps

You won't believe, I'm happy with BitBlt Well, It's not a big problem to take another Render-class, so If the *game* runs, I can easily switch to DX...

[drewski]

You know what? I think you might spend just a little too much time at the keyboard I'm happy with bitblt too but I write such slow code so I'm thinking of getting into DX7. I'm still kind of a beginner in vb that is stepping into the intermediate stage.

Happy coding


p.s.
My code is getting better I think
