Hi, I remember in DBP there was a Fill memory command that you could use to write to the backbuffer! It doesn't seem to exist in DarkGDK. Does anyone know a way to write to the backbuffer, in the same style Fillmemory used to work like?

Without having proper look, I do know you can retrieve the back buffers pointer, pitch, width and height and use the standard C memcpy() and memset() functions.

dbCLS(dbRGB(255,0,0));

The fastest code is the code never written.

IIRC, DBP's fill memory function is basically a wrapper for the memset function (include stdio.h).

And sometimes the "header" for DarkGDK is missing functions that ARE there, if you know the call, and data types you can add it to the header, and compile with your fingers crossed. Backup your darkgdk.h before messing about
