Smoooth question!
Author
Hi,
I just finished a 2D Engine using Time-Based modeling. I want to know if it''s normal that Time-Based animation is not as smooth as a simple position increment per frame (I mean, adding 1 pixel to sprite position each frame). It seems to "blink", but it''s pretty good anyway. Just want to be reassured.

Yea I think that's normal, the higher your fps and/or the slower the object moves, the smoother it will look.

Even if it looks unrelated, anti-aliasing helps a lot in making movement smooth (because it allows advancing a non-integer number of pixels).
Also try an accumulation buffer

Can u guys tell me what is anti-aliasing? Btw I''m using directdraw...
And what you mean by "accumulation buffer"? I''m currently using a float to store Sprite Position, and round it when needed. My sprite position is:
position = position + ElapsedTime * Velocity
Is that what you mean?
Thanks!

Make sure you get the elapsed time with high-precision timers (see my sweet snippet from ages ago on frame-rate independent motion) and not with timeGetTime. timeGetTime is in milliseconds but is really only accurate to 30-50 or so milliseconds (not enough for high frame rates to work well).

Yup... I''m using QueryPerformanceCounter
But I really want to know: What is anti-aliasing with DirectDraw?
