hello. Is it a "good programing" to work only with display lists - each object or texture I wish to draw - I''ll do it with a proper display list. what is bad about using only display lists? thanks

theyre static, once built, thats it, u can only perform limited animation with them eg rotate/scale/transform.

also, they aint the fastest thing out there.. have a look at vertex arrays (glDrawArrays, glDrawLists, etc) they are faster, and not static.

in terms of raw speed, there are other faster ways of drawing things, eg. VAR, but i dont know an awful lot about that

Hope it helped,
Hybrid
