I'm in the middle of writing a sharware game on my A3000 but
when I tried my program on an ordinary A500 it flickers like h*ll.
Now I need some advice on how to avoid this.
In assembler I'd just use a copper interrupt to wait until the beam is
below the area I'm changing but in C I'm stuck!
I've looked at Double-bufferd display but I can't figure out how to
use it without taking over the whole display using LoadView.
I would like to have by graphics inside a window on a custom screen.

I have called this principle, by which each slight variation,
if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection. /C. Darwin
