Is the WIN APIs LoadImage function slow?? If it is... how slow is it?? Too slow to use in-game?? How about in the load game phase? I would like some opinions here as well as technical knowledge... thanx a bunch people!! The Shaz "I don''t want to be a pie... I don''t like gravy." - Babbs, Chicken Run

File I/O is one of the slowest processes you can do. calling a function like Load image durring runtime will slow your game down a noticable bit depending on how much data is being written/read. I wouldn''t suggest doing this. Your better off either streaming the file in, or loading at load points such as the start of a game.

Right! Thanx.
