Hi, a bit of a newbie question here.
I need to be able to scroll right to left indefinitely.
I'm currently using a full screen surface that continues to be resized as the surface width requirements increase. As this happens I can see that the memory requirements continue to grow as well, which obviously, is a limited resource.
I'm not developing a game, but I suspect any side scroller might have the same issues. Is there a limit to how large a surface can be, or, is there a way to limit the memory requirements for off screen drawing?
I'm currently testing this as a stationary pc application on XP.
Thanks.
