Blitting with rotation

[Lobby]

Hello, would it be possible to add rotation support to blitting on a FrameBuffer? I think using Overlay isn't appreciated if you have a lot of dynamicially things to draw, is it?

That's actually what Overlay is for. Why do think that it's a problem with dynamic things and how much is 'a lot' in this context?

For a 2D particle engine for example, would you suggest to hold all particle images as overlays? Also when it means that you have to create and remove ten overlays a second? Yes, one could use something like a Overlay-Pool, but this sounds like a lot of work...

I'm not sure how you want to do a particle system with blitting anyway. I would rather use Object3D's for that (or do in a shader for really heavy particle systems).

In 2D it's neat to have calls like DrawImage(Image, x, y, Rotation) instead of handling collections of objects. It can make things easier .

But I understand your point, so also for 2D 3D objects would be the best solution in regard of performance.
