So I’m moving my bitmap (32x32, smoothing enabled) across the screen, but the movement is not nearly as smooth as that of a vector graphic of the same size and speed.

The movement increments are floats, but integers look pretty jerky as well. The problem occurs on movements along only one axis as well as both.

Is there any way to remedy this?

Thanks.
