performance independence
Author
how to make my game independent in speed from the system?
I used WM_TIMER messages instead of using loops but the performance goes down even if I create a timer with 1 millisecond.
should I put the drawing in a thread or the action in a thread or what...?
WM_TIMER is a low priority message, in other words, if there''s another message that could be delivered, it will be instead of WM_TIMER. Use another thread, or simply based your physics on a delta (which you''ll have to do for another thread anyway).

dont use WM_TIMER for timing.
use timeGetTime() or QueryPerformanceCounter() or GetTickCount() instead to get the Real Time Clock, then base your animation system on that.
