I have a loop that is doing sprite animation. This loop also write up the score in a special font.

I have loaded the font in windows but not used the load facility in Dark basic pro.

If I loade dhte font into dark basic pro then would it solve this problem ?

This writing of the text slows down the loop alot.

Even if I change the font and then change back to arial for the loop it is still slow. The only way is not to use any font command in the program.

Is there any way to solve this

Thanks
Peter

post your code.
make sure there is nothing in the loop other than what's needed for sprite anims and print statement - keep all other stuff outside the loop.

The code is about 4600 lines

But all you have to do to prove this point is run the following program

looking at your code I see something you should change...
Take the subs out of the loop

DO
code code code
LOOP

SUB1:
code
RETURN

SUB2:
code
RETURN

give that a try for starts. It may not help speed problems but it will make your code way more readable
