Reputation: +9/-1 Offline Gender: Posts: 4654	Jesus, it's taking up 100% of my cpu - I died from jumping on the green shelled enemy. - Why does it load the map every time i die? - My god this is laggy - Bad animation when jumping on the goomba - No dying sound - No sound when picking up a green mushroom - I didn't even know it was done loaading, it just kept saying loading and the filename, put something in to tell you it done loading and to hit space. - After the first jump a goomba is walking, the first time i jumped on it mario just bounced off him and he didn't die. I had to jump on him two times for the goomba to die. - The end of the level is collecting a star? It should be the flag. - The dying sound is in the folder but not added into the game? - It says Level 2, but it;s just Level 1 again. - When you kill a green shelled enemy the shell just hovers and continues on the path that the enemy would have went. Honestly man, this game is bad, i'm sorry but it just isn't good, or fun, or well made. This is barely even playable. « Last Edit: May 11, 2008, 08:20:28 pm by FISSURE » Logged

I feel that it's my obligation to step aside as Level Director. It's just a time issue. Since I am also a global mod that also takes some of my focus from the CP. So, it's nothing against anybody or what not, I'm just out of time anymore it seems. Sorry again.

"hand some time back to the operating system" how?

There are a number of functions to do this. What most people do is they use delay functions (which put the program to sleep for a given amount of time, leaving that time available to the OS for other things) within their main loop to pause the program for x milliseconds so that the program never takes more time than it needs to run at the target FPS.

If you don't do something similar to this then your program will just cycle through as many frames as possible, resulting in all the available CPU time being sucked up to generate unnecessary frames.
