screen doesn't redraw when cpu in control!

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/screen doesn't redraw when cpu in control!

Hi,

I'm writing a turn based strategy game for the Retro Remakes comp - deadline midnight gmt tonight!!

Anyway occasionally when the cpu is moving the enemy units, the screen isn't getting re-drawn - a hourglass appears and the screen remains static.

The game is still working because you can hear the movement sound effects, when it finally goes back to the player's move - the screen draw start working again!

This is in windowed mode by the way - haven't tested if it does the same full screen.

It only happens very occasionally but all my testers think the game has crashed and they ctrl-alt-del out

Any ideas? has anyone seen this before?
