I'm so sick of hearing Arce go on and on about his "Buffers" in blitz plus. This is actually 2D programming in general.

I know it sounds wierd, but I've gotten VERY accustomed to doing 2D with 3D hardware and such. I wonder if I could learn OpenGL since its 3D.

I don't use "buffers"
I render my images using 3D hardware.

You guys are fools... and if I hear buffer again, I'll scream...

Pshaw! OpenGL uses buffer. Well... if you use double-buffering. See, you draw an image to a screen and while you're doing that, you write the next image to the buffer. Then you swap them. It's a lot faster to draw that way -- because the image is always ready, and isn't drawn as it is needed. The difference between showing a slide show and showing a slide show while you're creating the slide you are currently showing.

If you didn't use double-buffering you would see your screen flickering. It would be like adding pictures to the screen everytime you draw to it while your playing.

I don't like that. I like rendering. 3D applications don't need buffers. Damn buffers...

I'm pretty sure 3D applications are rendered to a buffer.

I'm pretty sure that if I hear buffer again, I'll die.

Hey my shoes seem to be untied.... Let me just reach down and BUFFER tie them up.
