Hi,

I've just been thinking of a way to grab a (several) sprite(s) and put them on the (scrolling) background layer - is this possible ? Like shells ejected from an smg, skidmarks or dead bodies...
For All I know using grabimage would be way too slow to do this in real time.

Has anyone given this any toughts ? Code snippets ?
