| This is a value usually used with dxSetBuffer to denote the secondary non-visible drawing buffer called the Back Buffer. In MOST gaming situations, you will want to be using the dxBackBuffer() for drawing operations then using dxFlip to bring that buffer to the dxFrontBuffer() where it can be seen. There are other uses for the command, but this is the biggie. See dxSetBuffer for more info, and check out the example. Once again - if you set drawing operations to the dxBackBuffer() you will NOT see any of them until you call dxFlip. |
