Pixel by Pixel Scrolling Engine

Hello,

I have completed half of my pixel by pixel engine. It doesn't support collision and a hanful of other features yet.

Can anyone please have a look at it, and tell me why it's so slow?

I can speed it up by changing "#AnimationSmoothness = 1" to 4, which makes the movement slightly more choppy, but it's painfully slow as it is.

using the same techniques, I was able to make a much faster engine in QuickBASIC, so I figure something is wrong here.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks

Don't just click on the Link, this gives you a "Forbidden" page in japanese

Rightclick->Save Target as should work better.

Your code is ok and works perfectly here.

thanks for taking a look.

After having a few people in #purebasic look at it, it seems that it's slow because my monitor has a low refresh rate, and I can do nothing about it.

I'll try to find a way to make it run at the same speed on all PCs:)

thanks
