Same.
I don't know what my school has. All I know is that the Compsci people can play unreal tournament with good graphics and at a reasonable speed.

I don't exactly remember, but I can tell you exactly how bad it is tomorrow. Let's just say that it has a hard time running the TankWars game I'm making in vb which runs too fast on my home computer.
you should have your game use the tickrate for timing so that it never runs 'too fast'
see the little clock in the place where you add components (I think thats what they are called..can't remember exact vb terminology)
That timer often isn't exact enough for a game, but it will work. Just set it to a certain interval (which is *supposed* to be in milliseconds), then have its timer() function do whatever it is you need
Btw chip, is this for 6 or .net?
Crappy old 6

i made a game in 6 that uses a tick timer, i'll post the code for it later (its at school) - its just a memory/repeat/simon says type game, but it uses a main game loop that should help give you some ideas

wont work. its a registry setting. and DO NOT get caught in the registry editor if you value your education. bring firefox in on a thumbdrive or use an HTTP tunnel.
It's worked on computers at my old school before. Probably due to the fact that the teacher in charge of internet security was unspeakably lazy.

I raised the interval a bit and that pretty much fixed it. Thanks for the offer though.

it used to work at my school...,,till they cracked down on security cause of a senior prank involving keyloggers and removing deep freeze.

Don't bother. I know how to use timers. I just had never heard them referred to as "tickrate timers before." In fact, I have a good part of the game done. The reason that it ran slow on the computers at school is because I was using a very small interval rate for the timer to make it have the max fps on my cpu, but the computers at school couldn't finish the procedure that ran when the timer was triggered in time.

i didn't use the standard timer, so mine doesn't have that problem.
