Choppy Scrolling

Postby laddsa » Sun May 13, 2007 10:58 am

Hi,

I have about 8 rectangles of various lengths all in a row to simulate buidings which repeat as the screen scrolls. I've exported this to a Pocket PC, and when I scroll (left or right), the edges of the buildings become very choppy and is not smooth at all. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks for any help or advice,

Can you send me the executable? I will take a look.

Hi Makslane,

Here's the zip file containing the executable for Pocket PC and also the ged file. The Pocket PC D-pad can be used to scroll left/right.

Kind regards,

Laddsa

Is better remove the transparency of the edges.
The Pocket PC screen have only 16 bits per pixel, so, some times you don't get the exactly same color of a 32 bbs screen.

Hi,

I've just given it a go, but still get the same choppy images. Is there anything else that you could suggest?

Thanks,

Ok, I need investigate more.
I think can be a vsync problem.
What's your device model?
