Yah, I hate to sound like a broken record, but don't fork. Have a loop in the mainline that: 1. gets movement/input from the user, 2. Processes all data, (move the sprites locations, etc) 3. Draw everything to screen |

Yah, the think about forking is that processes don't all run at the same speed/time. You don't know what to expect. It's easier to have them in a main loop to ensure that they will run in the same order everytime. |
