Annoying Flicker

[NOMADMAN]

I'm making a centipede clone. I'm using BitBlt for my graphics and when I get to my 'Update Screen' sub I use a "quick" cls on the form. This renders a mildly annoying flicker. Anyone know a way around this besides me having to only update the sprites that moved since the last update screen?

I'm looking for a trick anyone might know, I DO know how to fix this but a trick to continue using the CLS or something equal would be much nicer.

Thanks to anyone who takes there time to help me!

Form.AutoRedraw = True

then use:


Form.Cls
; Draw stuff here
Form.Refresh
