Hi, In plain C (not C++), void* pointer means "anything goes", it's like a placeholder that accepts any data. malloc won't break, it just returns a void* pointer, it doesn't care what are you using...

Post: RE: How blitting works

Hi! That's the reason, it's fixed point math. On low-end hardware, integer math is much faster than floating point. So the fractional accumulation is done in 16.16 fixed point, that is 16 bits for in...

There's a list that stores, for each sprite, what index to draw next after the current one. It also stores the first sprite to draw. When you need fine control of sprite ordering, for example to imple...
