I got an assignment in school to create a game. I'm using DX7 and VB to create it. I have a couple of problems with it:
  • The background of the game is constant, and blitting it on the buffer every cycle in my loop eats up a lot of time. Since it's a constant background, can it be 'fixed' to the buffer so it will always be it's background?
  • The second problem is that the game is supposed to run on the computers in my school. I'm creating the game at home on a 733Mhz proccessor, and the speed looks fine to me, but on the computers in my school it will probably be slower. How can I keep the speed constant no matter where I run the game?

Thanks!
