i had a reason somewhere..

now i see
from "windows game programming for dummies" :

//use video pointer to write to memory.. notice the use of lPitch (linear pitch) and the division by 2 ( >> 1); this is needed to keep the adressing correct because you''re using USHORT pointers and lPitch is always in bytes

and just now i noticed he used a UCHAR pointer

my mistake

Hi all.

Ahhhh now we are talking. OK, I was wrong too, there is a use for that division or right shift after all
