Interesting article on VRAM (and memory) management

Post by cdoty » Thu Apr 16, 2009 6:13 am

Here's an excellent article about treating VRAM as managed memory:
http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20010 ... sta_01.htm

It also talks about a system to swap tiles/sprites in and out of VRAM, and managing a sprite list.

I've contacted the author to get a copy of the source code mentioned in the article.
