How come no one on the forums has told me about View.UpdateArea? I found it when I was looking through the help files. It will be very helpful, search it in the turing help. Its really good. I think I will impliment it into my programs..

Put it in turing help because its just to help others? I unno. Post questions and ill help.

It would, but it would be very short. Unless it had lots of examples (How to do a circle ext)

Or you could do the enitre Update. Which includes the Window.Update....

nah, all you need to do is:
1.Start a new Thread (give title etc.)
2.Introduce the command
3.Tell them to press F10
4.Final Comments and Credits

View.UpdateArea is just like View.Update isnt it
except it doesnt update teh whole screen like View.Update, but instead update the rectangular area that one selected...
I think that is what it is So cool

Well, if you insist on making it longer, I suppose you could write us a detailed tutorial on backbuffering (offscreenonly) including why and we use it, with examples and exaplanation of good loop struction (ie. grouping all your drawing commands together [that includes cls] followed by a your one and only View.Update [or View.UpdateArea, but you can have more than one of them]).

No pressure, Flikerator. Smile

FREE FOOD AND POP! Thats awsome. I don't care about prizes, I just want to compete. It will be fun, I know my team won't make it very far...

I say my team cause I nominated myself the leader ^^;

I was just wondering if there was some sort of prize for first, second ext... Like a scholarship or something?

My summer is going to be spent practising turing ^^;
