Enigma

What is the best way to do timing in BlitzMax so my game will run at the same speed on all PC's?

In Blitz3D i used a replacement function instead of using flip. The function is

Const framerate=60

Function do_flip()

framecounter=framecounter+1

Flip

While Abs (MilliSecs()-timer) < (1000/FRAMERATE)

Wend

timer=MilliSecs()

End Function

I have tried this in BlitzMax and it does work but is there a better/easier way to do this?

Thanks
