hi, Nobody answered me to my last question. Perhaps it was too complex and I am going to ask in an other way. How can I create a scrolling like the most strategic games do(age of empire, warcraft3)? For instance when the user moves the mouse to the right then the world on the right appears. Is GDI is powerful enough to do that? thank you zip7000

Use a tile map and draw only what you see, then update offsets as you scroll. There''s plenty of articles right here on gamedev

Cheers

No. Your question is def. not too complex. The opposite. However; The form of your question reveals a few things.

Most people here won''t answer your type of q. Simply because there are "10" ways of doing what you are asking and you want to know technically how it works right?

You could use the GDI, but i''d rather learn OGL and going hardware. I think NEHE''s Zelda project is what you are looking for.
