Hello,

  I was reading Michael Abrash's column in Dr. Dobbs journal on Xsharp the other day and I saw that he made reference to Real-Time animation.

  My question is how can you say that you are developping a real time animation package. Do you access the timer or what? I looked at his code to XSHARP and noticed that he made no access to any timer.

  I know that there are a lot of games that are Rael-Time but what makes real time diffrent from normal animation?

Thanks!
