make it a little more like a c++ prog

[dis1411]

go to the make your prog, click options -> compile -> advanced optimizations

now here u have several options, and u can click help if u need it

pretty safe bets are
--assume no aliasing (if u dont know what this is youre 100% not using it)
--remove safe pentium FDIV checks - this applies to some floating point bug in pentium 120mhz and lower!

others
--------
the array, integer, and floating point checks mean that where an overflow error would occur u simply get a value with no error, and the value may not be correct

Allow Unrounded Floating Point Operations for all projects, heres what msdn says

When selected, allows the compiler to:

Use floating point registers more efficiently


Avoid loads and stores from memory


Do floating point comparisons more efficiently

Note Using this option may result in calculations being maintained to a higher precision than expected and may cause the comparison of two floating point values to show them unequal when you expect them to be equal.

This isn't really a codebank contribution :/

That is the most butiful thing i have ever seen i was just about to can my game i spen more hours than i can count working on because it was so slow that just increased the speed like x5 thank you so much for that tip

Nate, don't use VB for making games, unless you combine it with DirectX! Try out some of the free DX engines out there instead, TrueVision's a good one. If you're going for 2D only, i can highly recommend www.blitzbasic.com.

Cheers!

could someone move this to Code It Better

edit: yeah its not code but it has to do with efficiency and etc which is what the section is all about
