[Wormux-dev] Infinite background

[Matthieu Fertré]

Hello,

I have tested the infinite background. It's interesting because we need 
it when a projectile is launched, but we should prevent the user to 
infinitely scrolling !!

For the horizontal repetition of the sky, this is not a problem... but 
for the vertical one, as you can see on the map grenouille, it can be 
very strange.
In fact, I think in Team17 Worms, they have taken the good choice. The 
top of the "sky" is the same for all map, they use a blue degrading when 
going on the air. Moreover, it seems there are a destructible ground 
(bitmap), an indestructible background (bitmap), and the sky (colour is 
calculated depending on height). I think this is also a good choice for 
performance, you do not need to redraw the full sky loading from a 
bitmap, but just redrawing where objects are in the previous frame. do 
you understand what I talk about ?

Bye,

Matt
