I wish someone on the forum had said "read this article on this very site" when I posted there, hahah!
Thanks a bunch for the link! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Wood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2005 2:35 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Blitting, Double-Buffering,and Other Bitmap Methodologies There's a good series of articles on gamedev.net :) http://www.gamedev.net/reference/list.asp?categoryid=45#200 The Game Programming Genesis series. In a lot of cases the 'magical render' is performed by a render manager, the entities themselves dont do rendering, they are maintained in a list (perhaps in a World class) and the render manager just redraws whatever is on the list. Or you could set it up so the renderer orchestrates the rendering of the entities, i.e. it scans the active display list and calls draw() on an entity that survives the clipping tests. martin JesterXL wrote: > ...here's where things break down for me.
