Ooh I see now. Direct memory storage. Seems like a nice trick if you want to use large sprites. Is it slower or faster?
i think same speed

Ah ok, well it's good if it's not too slow. It should make using large sprites much easier if used through a Sub() routine.

even if he's drawing in only 3 levels of gray he would still have to clear the back buffer area underneath the text-box so as to avoid having bits of gray show through inside the box.

oh, and it would be interesting to know which of those runs more quickly. i doubt they're exactly the same speed

aeTIos, did you ever see the last post I made in your 24*24 sprites thread? If you're content with copying the sprite without clipping to byte boundaries on the buffer, then that's the most optimized code I could get. One code section is optimized for size, the other for speed.
