Movement Is "Glitchy"

[Rasta Fella]

The source code below is part of the program I am making. Seems to me when I run the program the 'dot' seems to flash. Its a problem, because the commands states to redraw the dot every some odd milliseconds. Is there a way that the flashy stuff can be fixed...because I don't want a problem in the future to occur. Or is it just my computer?? I already looked through alot of the programs....and I think the command View.Update can help???

Code Below:

code:

var x, y : int                                                    x := 20                                                                                        y := 60                                                                                            var chars : array char of boolean                                                              drawfillbox(0,0,560,350,black)        loop     Input.KeyDown (chars)     if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then         if y <= 348 then             y := y + 1         end if     end if     if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then         if x <= 559 then             x := x + 1         end if     end if     if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then         if x >= 1 then             x := x - 1         end if     end if     if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then         if y >= 45 then             y := y - 1         end if     end if     drawfilloval (x, y, 1, 1, white)     delay (5)     drawfilloval (x, y, 1, 1, black) end loop

View.Update will indeed help.

Stick this at the top of your program:

code:

View.Set ("offscreenonly")

Then, after you've drawn your dot, do a View.Update.

Thanks Crevantes, It works now...

P.S. I like your new avatar, better then the pirate I think...
