Hello, yet more questions.
How do I make a portion of the screen seperate? so that it's not updated with the rest of the screen? the project I'm working on is 2D, so I'm thinking more along the lines of a control panel, rather than a HUD, but some advice on a HUD would be welcome too!
thanx!

For sprites, set the priority of your control panel sprites higher, so it's always on top of everything else.

For 3D (unsure about 2D) you can also SET CAMERA VIEW to a specific part of the screen.

can you point me in the direction of a code snippet or a tutorial that demonstrates the 3d aspect? I learn faster by doing.
thanx
