BLITTING in general simply means transfering raw data from work-memory to video-memory.... a lot of people do however refer to certain features of the AMIGA when they speak of "blitter functions" ... that would then more be like what someone else suggested before already, that is having some sort of simplified command-queue which in turn contains the commands to copy raw data around (thats basically how the amiga blitter works). however, IMHO "real" blitter functionality (as in amiga-blitter) would be handy -no doubt- but unfortunatly be very inefficient considering we are aiming for a portable library approach. -- Best regards, groepaz mailto:groepaz_at_gmx.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
