Hey all you Allegro guys! You may or may not have a problem in your project where it seems to flicker – this is casue by it attempting to clear and redraw the screen a hojillion times per second. We can solve this using a technique known as double buffering. Remember how we were drawing directly to the magical “screen” bitmap before? We set up another bitmap, the same SIZE as the screen, and draw onto that instead – and then once every frame we copy that bitmap to the screen. That way we don’t redraw the screen more times than necessary. Ready? Let’s begin!
