hey spike could you give me a link to those videos? they sound interesting:

and @Truth: dont cancel your project, but restart it, break it down into pieces:

first make a good movement code and weapon system, get that to run fine regardless of fps

create your cars project, get that to run fine also regardless of fps

even though some say your level is too big, i dont think this is your slow down, learn to manage many entities from one function

a game like this is done by finishing all the elements seperately and then putting them together, atleast thats how i'd do it ...

and seriously, GET RID OF THE GRAND THEFT AUTO TITLE !!! name it goodStealCar for all i care, just change the name
