Hi


I have a layerdict = {layerNr:[spritelist], ...} and go thtrough this like:


layerkeys =  layerdict.keys():
layerkeys.sort()
for layer in layerkeys:
   for sprite in layerdict[layer]:
         .... # do stuff here


I have a own list for the sortet layerkeys and only sort it if a layer 
ist added or removed. (do not sort it every frame)


Geekius Maximus: do you publish your code? (URL?) Would like to take a 
look, if you let me.

Cindy: never considered to use OpenGL? (like pygext at 
http://codereactor.net/projects/pygext/ , especially if the entire 
background changes every frame)
