[AL] RLE sprites

[Mark C. <ml...@ma...>]

Hi,

  Just to make certain again, since it's gotten a little fuzzy in the 
last couple of messages:

  Are RLE sprites transparent?  If so, is there a way to draw them 
opaquely?  Also, what about compiled sprites?  

  See, I'm writing a tile-based map system, and some of the tiles 
_must_ be opaque.  I'm using plain BITMAPs currently, and I need a 
slight speed-up (can anyone give me an estimate of how much faster 
RLE sprites and compiled sprites are in comparison with BITMAPs?).

  I _certainly_ hope these questions are not off-topic ;)

Thanks in advance,
Ben <ml...@en...>
