Wow, I've finally got on the news group. Don't ask me why I couldn't get on
before, it was just me being thick again.

I've never used a newsgroup before so here's a question to test it out.

Is there any way to draw images to the background.
For example:
                            Say I have a game which has lots of aliens
flying about the screen, when the aliens get shot the sprites are replaced
with pictures of dead aliens. However, because the images just need to stay
there without moving or anything is there anyway of drawing them without
sorting them as sprites and therefore maybe saving on speed. Is this a
relevent question or am I just missing the point?

Cheers,

Scott "thick as pig shit" Ward.
