| So you want to always calculate the new position? Try the GetCursorPos API. |

| It is pretty hard to do, and could be considered the hardest stuff to do in any language. You just have to learn your way around code and use reasoning to find the most effecient method. |

| is there an easy way to add this :lol: i looked at the code and didnt really understand it :/ Simply - no. 8) If you want to use binary packets, you're going to have to redesign every single packet once to fit the system, then again to optimize them.

| Stuff like String$() instead of String will speed it up, but you wont even notice the difference unless you are calling it about 100,000 times a second. Most optimizations you have to actually look through the code and think outside the box - reading files in binary instead of getprivateprofilestrin... |

vbGORE in my sig uses DX8.  Check around the Engine_Init_... subs along with Engine_Render_Rectangle - that is where the bulk of the DX8 code is. You can also check out DirectX4VB's examples |

Actually sorry to sound technical, but you use textures. Far different from surfaces. :wink: Textures, granted, h... |

| My only criticism is that, although you are creating a byte array to send, you are still sending in the form of a variant. This really isn't avoidable through the Winsock controls. I'd reccomend switching to the Winsock API so you can change that variant to a byte array and speed things up even more... |
