Would someone plz show me how to remove the flicker from the moving rectangles in my game? I've been trying to remove then for a while, I've been looking at tutorials and I'm still confused, I thought all u needed to do was use setscreen(offscreenonly) and View.Update. Maybe I put them in the wrong spot, but anyways, I'd really appreciate the help, Thanks in advance.

it may just be the processes that you are using, processes don't work all that well in turing, so you should try to do it in one loop or another way.

I was fooling around with View.Update and now i got some problems, i lost the streaks which i had trouble with before, (although u couldnt, tell because they were black streaks on a black background). Now i cant seem to move very fast with keydown, and there is still some flicker check it out now, any advice?

Don't use processes, that's how you solve your problem. Unless you are really good, only use processes for music. You could have simply done everything there in a loop. Try to rewrite your program, that's about it.
