I need help making this animation smooth... it is kinda smooth but still flashes a little... was doing this on my free time and thought it would be cool to make... but there are few opstickles that i have run into mainly just getting the animation smoothed out... also if someone can help me add it in so that you only get damaged when the computer is close to you... and anything else anyone see that should be added... thanks |

Two very basic things that will make a world of difference. 1. use Input.KeyDown instead of getch (the f9 help is good, look at it) 2. use View.Set("offscreenonly") at the top of your program and View.Update at the bottom of your loop. The offscreenonly means that all drawing will actually be done to a seperate area in memory. The View.Update says OK the next fram of my animation is ready, use it on the screen |

you have to View.Update after the entire frame is drawn. That would include both characters. Or are you asking something different? |

so far we have been losing fetuchers with each update. i hope they put some of the old ones back in like "fullscreen" and some others. |
