[paragui-users] Re: [SDL] paraGUI

[Andrew Ford]

How do you handle packing surfaces that aren't powers
of two in each dimension?  Widgets can potentially
have their own surfaces of the widget's sizes.
You must have a fakie surface for the screen, I guess.
Either way, if the paragui blit-surface is retargeted 
in a new backend to use glSDL, that can be handled by
detecting the pointer to the screen surface.

I don't think there's a backing store for the screen,
so I don't think this happens

It'd be cooler if I could get past damn level 23 :)

Only on certain, ahem, sucky 3D cards.
