I'm making this game for my computer class (it was featured in a previous post). I fixed the error it had but it moves sooooooooooooo slllllllllllooooooooow. How would I be able to make it go faster without changing to much of the code? It's attached if you want a looksy. |

hey, did you know that negative delays dont work ?! 
there's no point in having a negative delay, its not going to speed up your program, its actually going to slow it down as delay function is still executed 
also you dont need to picture merge the whole background, regular picCopy is enough, though I'm not sure just how much that will speed up the game. also you can increase movement amount x+=15 and y+=10 seems to work much nicer. |

Lol, too bad that's true.
Run that in the background...grab framerates in the hundreds with doom III on a celeron 166  |

one problem (not the main one) you do cls,drawscreen,View.Update way too much do them once at the end of the loop the main problem is the background turing doesnt draw large images quickly either ditch it completley or do the back ground in turing graphics |

i think asian sensation has a tutorial on how to use his frames per second idea to keep a constant speed in a program. it won't speed it up, but it'll keep the speed constant. |
