Yeah. There is a way to reduce the code size for the blitters... but makes the code slightly harder to read. My initial blenders used this method. You include all of the blenders in one big function, and use a switch statement. This way each additional blitter doesn't use that much extra space - since the number of extra functions for each new blitter is zero. ... or we use a runtime assembler to generate the required blitters at run time ;)
