SineMaker Beta5.
Beta 5 includes many new features.
For example:
• TABlt and TAFastBlt (Transparent alpha blit).
•
Surfaces are a new concept in the Bob control. With those you can
get low level fast pixel access. This opens up a whole new area of
graphics coding.
•
DXFullScreen allow you to easy take advantage of DirectX 7 if you
want to run your application in full screen. The BobCtl allows you
to code independent for GDI and/or DirectX.
• Two new samples.
