Hello, This might not be exactly for what you are looking but i'll give it a shot anyway. I've seen this happen when the game "ticks" are controlled by a nonterminating loop. Have you tried using a timer control? What language are you using to code the game. Regards, Munawar Bijani Administrator, BPCPrograms SD It's your attitude not your aptitude which determines your altitude. Never assume something of which you lack strong knowledge. Are you certain you will awaken from bed tomorrow? Looks are temporary, personality is permanent. Therefore take care of the permanent, as the temporary will leave soon. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bpcprograms.com http://www.bpcprograms.com/munawar/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Søren Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2006 4:50 AM Subject: Re: audyssey: New Racing game and question for developers
