Hi all,
I'm really frustrated with something and hope someone out there can help.
I have this game >
http://www.asherbartos.com/xmas2005/
plays very well on my 1.7 ghz pc laptop.
plays horribly on a dual 1.2 mac.
some things simply don't work, on the Mac like the arrow keys.
that sucks, but the performance is what is driving me nuts.
I expect to take a hit on the mac, but this is beyond anything I anticipated.
is there code you should just simply stay away from on the Mac?
I used a couple of listeners for arrow key control. a couple of
setIntervals. nothing too hard core at all... most of the code is below
if anyone cares to take a look.
thanks for any help anyone can offer.
