Hey , I Usually Work On TP 7.0 Of Borland For Dos
SO I ran in some problems in vb4
i tried to put a picture box and some stars and wanted
to scroll the screen
so i wrote something like this :
In Forum Activated
While Not Game_Exit
Doevents
MoveStars
DrawStars
.......
.......
MoveShips
.........
Wend
and i saw its toooooooo slow to be true
in pascal i can use dynamic virtual memory to solve the speed problem but in vb i know only PSET which is too slow to use , if there is a better way ( i know there is) or even directx methods to use to make it faster
I WANT IT TO RUN SMOOOOOOTHHHLY like in dos
... why the heck did i buy windows :))) when i have such a great dos with INTERRUPT TABLES And MEMORY ADDRESSES
:)
help . thank you in advance

Well I made a scrolling text by doing this:
2. make a picture box
3. put all the text's and images in the picture box
4. Move the picture box
I hope that works.

What you need is an API!
Create a regular module and paste this there:
Public Declare Function SetPixel Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal crColor As Long) As Long
Then, to use the function, here's how:
SetPixel Picture1.hDC, X, Y , ColorToUse
That's it! I guess you don't need anymore explanations :p
The best of all is that this is about 1000 faster than pset =)
