[Tuxmath-devel] Dirty Blits

[Jacob G. <bom...@fi...>]

tuxmath runs too slow on my system (it always is insulting me by saying "Never waited; CPU too slow!" even though my system is a 400Mhz machine :)

so I was tryin to come up with a dirty blit option to the game. i lifted some code from tuxtype, and compiled it. but now I get this error:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  147 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_ShmPutImage)
  Value in failed request:  0x55
  Serial number of failed request:  241
  Current serial number in output stream:  303

anyone know what that means? it's not an SDL error.

Actually, looking at the code, it doesn't necessarily mean your CPU is too 
slow, just that your XFree86 driver and/or your graphic card doesn't support 
double buffering.

It's not surprising you get this... AFAIK most XFree86 drivers don't support 
double buffering yet (neither my desktop nor my laptop do).

I would bet that it is trying to perform an update rects or blit rect or 
something outside of the screen's boundaries (we used to have these things 
all the time in Tux Typing, untill I added in checking code to ensure that we 
didn't blit outside the window ;-)

Can you place your code online somewhere (I think you still have Noink access 
on my site, so you could use that if you wanted) so we can look at it?

Hehe.. sorry, haven't seen a box that goes full FPS yet.  Truly is being
too slow.

I am planning on adding dirty-rect stuff myself, soon.  Thanks, though!

(Going to whip out my P133 soon for testing, too :) )
