I'm making a game where the user has to spam certain keys in a pattern to move their

"Horses" forward to the finish line. and it is done multiplayer.

I already have the multiplayer and client side connection done and it transmits data via TCP / IP so that the server will process each players' "horse" location and send back the coordinates to other player so they can see each other.

Now, I have only one problem, When I animate the horses, I set freq to 10ms, 50ms and it's too slow to process.

10ms is the ideal interval for the timer, however, it creates choppiness in the animation.

I used the code :

Code: Select all

    Private Sub tamara_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tamara.Tick
        horse.Left += 10
    End Sub

and it starts to get white flashes trailing the horse. If someone can post an alternative to this it would be great.

Have you buffered your form?.

In Form_Load:

Code: Select all

SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, True)
        SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, True)

That should help stop flicker and trails.
