I'll probably put some kind of delay in there. I've compiled it up on an IPC and a lowly Sun3/50. It appears that it's not the speed that ruins it. If you run with one roach and close all windows, you'll find that the roach moves at a reasonable speed, but that most of the time it is un-painted. It seems to flash on for a brief moment. At least that's how it runs on all the Suns I've compiled it on. Anyone else seen this? I've had only a quick glance at the source so far and I can't see yet what the problem is. Mark
