FlameDuck, youre missing the point. Imagebuffers kept things quick and easy.
I know. However the ability to have multiple Lists will acheive the exact same effect. The problem with drawing them in the first place would be that upon continuing drawing the tiles, the effect would get overwritten.
No. You can do Z-ordering in seperate TLists instead of seperate images. Just add the Images in the same Z "space" to the same list, then add those lists to a bigger list in the correct "back to front" z-order, and viola! (It's called "composite pattern").[qutoe]Also, "Do the copy thing".... the "copy thing" seems deadly slow from here[/quote]GrabImage is that slow on your PC?
With a bit ofknowledge, i may write something to bring back the old buffers. :)
Well I'm sure many will appreciate it, but I'm just not entirely sure it's really worth it TBH. Incidently, you could probably use the composite pattern to get around your GUI problem too (it was originally meant to solve just that issue).
