It's right that the SDK features some DD demos but the directdraw parts doesn't impress at all. I have a 333 PII with ATI 3dRage Pro card and guess what, the simple little sprite flying around is NOT very smooth and there is only one. And the Xdemo i've seen in VB is some kind of nice, but still not smooth, theres alot of flickering and i really HATE that. For a demo to be great there has to be no flickering at all. I've seen more smooth and cool stuff made on the C64 with 1 mhz and 64 kb of memory. Well, what is this kind of progress, we will first be able to make cool VB graphics stuff when we reach 1 ghz. Thousand times the speed of the C64. There has to something nice not flickering stuff made in VB, else i'm sorry to say that i'll continue stay dissapointen with VB. I know it's not made for that kind of programming, nonetheless it should be able to something nice !! Am I right ? Please show me something, maybe just some nonflickering sprites flying around in af sine with some kind of really smooth scroll text. The one who make this will be my idol !! Show me the way ! Kind regards Jack Nielsen MCP, 4/6 MCSE
