I read thru the sprites/blue screen tutorial. Makes total sense. Got solution three sorta working. Not totally. I'm trying to decide which solution I should go with.

I have a complex background graphic and a couple scrollable areas. I need to move sprites over all this. Would you recommend the "set sprite" solution? I suppose I can do a GET IMAGE just before showing the sprite, then replace the background when the sprite moves. Yes?

Do you think this is the most efficient way to go? Or other?

Thanks for your advice

You might get more replies if you skipped that tutorial, and just explain what you want to do. We don't all do the tutorials.

I just combat the blue screen with a cls at the top of the loop.

Don't know if it's the most efficent but it is the easiest.

The get image command is slow, try it but I think it will not be fast enough.

@Winch

I opted for SET SPRITE with my background concerns. I'm using GET IMAGE to capture the "underneath" before placing the sprite.

How slow? My game is turn based so I'm hoping this won't be a factor. Does it -seriously- slow down moving sprites? How many sprites on screen before the slowness would be noticable?

Thanks
