Please guys, calm down - I don't want to start an argument.
Taken all that has been written on this thread into contention, perhaps it would be pertinent to ask me what my target hardware is ?
People talk about running the game on 1GHZ systems - but ideally I'd also like people with slower cpu's to be able to run the game, eg. Pentium II class systems. I'm not going for state-of-the-art graphics here - I'm doing a retro remake.
Taking that into account I'm sure PROF's argument becomes that more pertinent when running the game on a Pentium II 350MHz ?
For now and for quickness, I'll use EPICBOY's approach, then when the game is done. I'll go back an try PROF's approach and see what the gains are.
Thanks for your input guys
