| Hi Alan,
Welcome here and thanks for your interest!

Thread: Disable raster callback?
Post: RE: Disable raster callback?
| Passing NULL to TLN_SetRasterCallback() is the way to disable raster effects.

Thread: Disable raster callback?
Post: RE: Disable raster callback?

Thread: Documentation menu on website
Post: RE: Documentation menu on website
| I see, I just grabbed the GitHub README.md as-is, and the first part covers general setup, not just C/C++. It should live on its own "Getting started" sub-menu, right? |

That is not exactly true in tilengine. It doesn't create any huge surface and blit portions of it, as other 2D engines do. What is held complete in RAM is the tileset (the set of individual gra... |
