That is very cool... I'm looking forward to seeing it, and yes I'm currently using the SDL component. I switched the game over a couple of months ago. What I did to relieve the problem for now was to call the WAIT statement a bunch of times using a FOR...NEXT loop. That way even if my frame rate is low, the gamepad's READ event is allowed to trigger multiple times per frame. -- Kevin Fishburne Eight Virtues www: http://sales.eightvirtues.com e-mail: sa...@eightvirtues.com phone: (770) 853-6271 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
