Hello


Thank you for that. It's astonishing fast! Congratulations!

I tested your code:
I have ~412 fps in windowed mode and ~610 fps in fullscreen on a 
PentiumM 1.5Ghz with 1GB ram and WinXP Prof.
(my LCD display is slow so I can see 4-6 rects lined up in the moving 
direction!!)


I think I have to re-think some parts of my design and code. I wanted to 
stay compatible with the exsiting pygame.sprite.Sprite's but now I'm not 
so sure anymore if this is a good idea.

I looked at your code and noticed, that I had forgotten about the 
clipping on a surface. That can make some thing faster.
