A few Q's - jasoncannon - 15-08-2008

I am going to be driving (er riding actually) in a car for 10+ hours on sunday monday wednesday and thursday, and i will have nothing to do, so i figured i would make a mirage type engine (same thing as mirage, but codded from scratch) and i had a couple of questions before i start.

Should i use Sing Double or Tripple Buffering?
and
Should i work with resource files or .bmp/png/gif/whatever files.

more questions to come. Thanks!

errrr just read up on resources, they are a waste of time, nevermind that question,

Sing Double?

As for which file type, it should be fairly obvious. DirectDraw = .bmp, Dx8 = .png

whoops i should have checked what i wrote, sing = single. and thanks for the help/
