Main loop - does everyone do the same stuff ?

I would not recommend using WaitTimer() to halt your program so that is fits a certain FPS. Instead Use Delta Time:

DeltaT#=(MilliSecs()-TimeD#)/1000: TimeD#=MilliSecs()
Now at every place where you apply something over time, Multiply it with DeltaT. Like Speed=Speed + Acceleration*DeltaT. Or X=X+Speed*DeltaT. In this way the game will flow the same for someone with a fps of 20 and someone with a fps of 900. If you use DeltaTime, The speed, for example, will be set as pixels/second. Let's say you want to travel the screen in 3secs. Set Speed=ScreenWidth()/3, or if you have a resolution of 800x600 Speed=800/3M;Pixels/sec. Also Whenever you want something to happen at a given time USE Millisecs() and RealTimers. So that you depend on real-life time and not a in game counter Like Time=Time+1...

For the sake of the loop (I know it's messy), it's not a function, here it is. But that is preference only. I like to have the MAIN-loop after all variables/Types and then there is no real need for a function.

And a Forum Tip: Write <CODE> to start CODEBLOCK <CODE/> to end it BUT use [ instead of < and ] instead of >
