Re: [xmoto-dev] Z-buffer support in xmoto

["me i am" <e.gorse@xxxxxxxxx>]

but i'm still a the office !

since 0.2.7, dynamic blocks are stored the same way as static blocks.
blocks are already sorted on z (more or less), because the drawing
order of the different blocks is known, its:
background layers, dynamic background blocks, background blocks,
dynamic blocks, static blocks (the two layers of static blocks), front
layers.

and in each layer of blocks, blocks are sorted on their texture (else
there's problems with vbo)
