Hello,

I am writing a tiled game with 32x32 tiles.

firstly what I want to know is, which is faster.

1) Making the tile bitmaps and using blit to put them onto the screen.

2 Making the tile comiled sprites and using draw_compiled_sprite to put
them onto the screen.

Secondly is page flipping with a virtual screen or double buffering with
normal memory.

Thanks for all the help I have been getting,

Oliver Batchelor
