(while Crafty uses bitboards, >Ferret and DIEP use 0x88 if I remember correctly, right?) 0x88 is probably the most popular. I personally don't think there is a dime's worth of difference in the two until you migrate to a 64 bit machine. Then bitmaps will have an edge. Otherwise, it is a matter of preference. Just like choosing the programming language. FORTRAN is just as good as C, if you like FORTRAN better. If you like C, then C is better. Because you are best at what you know the best. bitmaps take a significant amount of time to "get in the groove", because they represent a different way of thinking, and from experience, it takes some time to "think bitmaps"...
