i'm trying to do some 3D and stuff which is going great except for a few things (i'm going to break this up into 2 messages because they deal with different things)... anyway about my flickering it seems to me that i'm already starting to erase what i've just drawn when the screen refreshes, so i'm left sometimes with half a cube on screen, sometimes with the whole cube, sometimes with no cube at all... what i'm wondering is...how can wait until the screen refreshes before i start erasing?? do i have to know the refresh rate of the screen and then use a timer?? if so how do i figure out the refresh rate (i'm designing this so i can be used in any screen mode) . o O Mike Burrell O o . . o O burrellm at geocities.com O o . . o O mikpos.base.org O o .
