Hello everyone. I am working on a little Tile-Engine, drawing PNG-Sprites on a surface. Since I switched to a higher screen-resolution and draw more little sprites, and draw backgrounds, the whole thing is getting much too slow. Most sprites have transparent parts, and also the background-images are overlapping.
It seems like it doesnt matter if I draw many little or some huge graphics on the screen, both seems to be slow. I can change parts of the program, but I actually dont know what the problem is. The program is fast enough if I just draw rectangles (for testing), but as soon as I draw surfaces, it isnt anymore. I am already trying to prevent anything outside the screen to be drawn (because it is invisible anyway), and to put things being directly next to each other into the same surfaces which I have to blit, but this doesnt really help. I read that one has to use OpenGL also to enhance the Speed of 2d graphics. I neither know how to do this with lispbuilder-sdl, nore if this is true. Do you have any suggestions for me to get my graphic faster?
