gameloop
Author
Hi
I want anyone to write a simple game/message-loop for me in VC++. I have tried lots of times, but I can''t get ahead with it. If I use GetMessage the loop waits for message to be retrieved, if I use PeekMessage the loop does''nt retrieve any message. This is the problem I got, the loop works well else. function updateFrame() is processed in the loop, where the objects is showed and their positions is changed.
Please help me with this!
Thanks

this is what my loop looks like:
//all other initialization here
while(1)
{
int t = PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0U, 0U, PM_NOREMOVE);
if (t)
{
if (!GetMessage (& msg, NULL, 0, 0))
return msg.wParam;
TranslateMessage (&msg);
DispatchMessage (&msg);
}
else if (ActiveApp)
{
//PROCESS ALL INPUT HERE
//DRAW ALL GRAPHICS HERE
}
else if (!ActiveApp)
WaitMessage();
}
}
//end of the program here
is that what you wanted? if so i hope that helps, later
//all other initialization here
while(1)
{
int t = PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0U, 0U, PM_NOREMOVE);
if (t)
{
if (!GetMessage (& msg, NULL, 0, 0))
return msg.wParam;
TranslateMessage (&msg);
DispatchMessage (&msg);
}
else if (ActiveApp)
{
//PROCESS ALL INPUT HERE
//DRAW ALL GRAPHICS HERE
}
else if (!ActiveApp)
WaitMessage();
}
}
//end of the program here
is that what you wanted? if so i hope that helps, later

I am in the start but I know what I need to know.
I know how to do the messageloop, but when it came to the game everything stopped to work.
Both your loops worked, so thanks guys!
