I know that both of them actually work in the latest verge. However, in the documentation, it says that there is no TBiltWrap... which is technically true, but there is a TWrapBilt. This make that section unecessarily confusing, I think. Unless, of course, there is some difference between the two functions I cannot see.

BlitWrap and WrapBlit are quite different, names notwithstanding.
WrapBlit 'repeats' a texture to fill an image (or its active clipping rectangle anyway).
BlitWrap is just a single image blit, except that it will wrap around the edges, which is useful for _generating_ repeating textures.
I don't know if that was clear at all, but its pretty obvious when you use them.

Oh, I think I see what you mean. BlitWrap doesn't really seem to be that useful then. :( I guess somebody might find a use for it.

BlitWrap does have limited usefulness, but there are scenarios where it's useful. I added it because I needed it in Timeless.

BlitWrap is the product of Vecna's selfish desires. =D

Oh, I see how it is. I'm shocked that SuperSecretDoohickey() isn't implemented. :p

You mean SuperSecretThingy(), which takes 5 params including a 256 pixel square image? ;]

The point is BlitWrap is still a general purpose blitter that anyone could use, while SuperSecretThingy isn't so much.

(Yes, I know what SuperSecretThingy does. It was associative humor. :p)
