Is there anyway i can controll the speed of my program? because in this program im making, the speed of the bullets arent consistant. depending on how many enemies there are, the bullets get slower. its hard to just paste code so ill enclose my program.

note:the sprites are very crappy, i know, just havent felt like making good ones yet XD

It's called time based movement. It allows your game to move things at a set distance per second, no matter how fast or slow the computer running it is. (within reason)

Paste this at the end of your program somewhere.


and add

global factor# as float
global Flast# as float

to your variable declarations section.

Inside your main loop add,

tm_Update()

Now when you go to move something, multiply the amount you're moving it by the factor#

move object PlayerObj, 10 * factor#

NOTE: If you don't have IanM's Matrix1Utils installed you can use timer() instead of hitimer() in the function.

Hope that helps.
