Re: [pygame] LayeredDirty and DirtySprite doesn't work well with the visible flag?

Hi

your problem sounds strange... invisible sprites should not take that 
much to render. Maybe its an issue with the 
LayeredDirty.set_timing_treshold ?

Are the invisible sprites dirty? (it could help to set them invisible 
and not dirty at the same time)

And it is not intended to subclass LayeredDirty class, but feel free to try.

And next time, please make a new thread.

The funny thing is, that if all cells are visible = 1 (default value), everything works fine (if i move the draw() method only needs ms to compute).
