[size="5"]hi,
when i refresh the screen while waited for the user input, the text that i draw with tff fonts were jumpy. how do i fix that?
any help will be appreciated.
thanks

hi,

i am sorry about the large text size. the text in my screen is very small. i enlarged it so i can see it better. sorry about that.

i wrote my first game program in SDL by implementing a first AI program when i was in college. the program is about a 8's puzzle if that is what they called. it is a 3x3 square where the computer moves the tiles around to get to a goal state. it is a first AI program in AI class when i was in college 20 years ago. beside displaying the puzzle, i also display some texts to instruct the player what keys to press to change tile or to find solution.

the puzzle displayed was stable, but the text that i display was flickering. i tried to use SDL_Delay, but it slow down the input i get from the user.

i hope i included all the info for you to help me if not, ask me more questions.

i also attached the source file that i used.

thanks for your reply.
