Sometimes you want to draw sprites just on a small part of the screen.

You could clip all of them one by one, but that wouldn't work for sprites3D.

You could also use UseBuffer() on a sprite with the desired size draw everything there and draw this sprite on the screen, but that would be really slow. My sugestion is:

StartClipedArea(X,Y,Width,Height)

;draw all stuff

StopClipedArea()

I don't think than the second solution you told would be really slow (it would be really fast in fact) but the idea is good, i take good note.

Alright, replace the "really slow" with "really slower". Indeed, it's fast, but not the same.

not really slower, it will only involve an additional blit which is not really overkill.

OK, replace the "really slower" with "just an insignificant bit slower".
I just said that because I notice difference in the frame rate of my game when I try that. But it's a very small difference.

Anyway you said you would take note, that's enough to make me happy.

Thanks.
