Object movement help needed!

-----------------------------------

I'm trying to finish up a game I created, I have all the graphics made and everything but the movement is a little sloppy.  The images keep on flickering and I can't seem to figure out how to make it smooth.  So if anyone could please help it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

P.S.   The game should be coming out sometime soon - so look out for it.  The storyline is a little whack and a little random, so please don't keep messaging me about it.  Anyways it will be called A RANDOM HOBO ADVENTURE(c).

At the top of your program write

View.Set('offscreenonly')

before the cls (if you have one) or before you start erasing all your pictures, put


View.Update


Basically, this causes turing to draw anything off the screen, and then only refreshes the screen when you tell it to.

If you plan on using these in the future, keep in mind that you should only need *one* View.Update in your entire program (there are exceptions, I havn't found any yet).


On further note: You posted this in the wrong forum.  What you want is Turing Help, Edit: Grammer / Additions / Hyperlink.
