It would be nice if we could get EllipsePart() or something. In nearly all basic languages you can choose optionally a start- and endpoint for the ellipse, so that you can draw a quarter ellipse or a half or something between. It could look like this: EllipsePart(x, y, radiusX, radiusY, start ...

The same problem with Sprite3D here and on Epyx's PC. All have nVidia Cards and it worked with 3.81

Now the Sprite3D don't work
I just see white squares now. Maybe the fix with the size made it incompatible to the some gfx-cards? 8O (TNT2)

The best ist a menu item 'trim gadget numbers' or something, where you can manually trim them all. I think it's not good at all, when you leave the predefined numbers. Better rename them to a word which describes the gadget. Eh, it's more easy to find gadgets in the code

I know the SpriteEx-Library already and have it too, but I miss the Sprite3D-Commands there, which I need very often. Jeah, an erase - or not erase option is really needed, and the thing with tribble-buffering :D sounds really nice!!! :D

Uhm.... I know single, double and triple buffer, and I know ...

Uhm... GrabSprite then DisplaySprite to "Copy" is not really good! It would be a damn loose of Speed! All the workaround isn't the way it should be in a fast language like pb. But you see, FlipBuffers() does unusefull flipping of the buffers. With a additional CopyBuffers() you are not forced to ...

No, i tried it already. Example: Draw one Line of Text, then do FlipBuffer(). Now draw a second Line of text and FlipBuffer() again. Now you see only the second line. After the next FlipBuffer() you see just the first Line. And so on... In a code from me, I made an loading-Info-Procedure, which ...

If you don't want to "Flip" the buffers wit FlipBuffers(), so that the backbuffer gets exchanged with the frontbuffer, you could create a command like CopyBuffer() which "copy" the backbuffer to the frontbuffer, so that the backbuffer keeps unchanged for the next drawing sequence. Sometimes it may ...

So lets start with my wishes :lol:

- a command whish allows to hold the content of the backbuffer when using StartSpecialFX(). Theres a workaround for this, but an internal command would be very nice :wink:

- a second alternative for FlipBuffers() for speed control on fast systems.
For this ...
