Nothing special, just some simple 2D games :) @Albrecht: >Yes, you are, probably.The main problem is in the draw() method.

Actually, the first program, the one that works and is supposed to make a never ending animation, works fine without any resizing.But the other one, the one which should stop the animation, doesn't work at all. Thank you both, Ian and Albrecht.I think that I'm ready for some games now :) And I will try to move those calculations.It just never occurred to me. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list fltk@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
