Just a quick question.

Is it possible to read/write directly to/from the video buffer to
generate real-time images.

I ask because I am trying to read the properties of individual pixels
within an image for perfect collision detection.

If anyone can help I would be most grateful as this is a problem i have
been working on for a while now.

Bruce
