Hi Matt,
Unfortunately I didn't have any luck with finding something on MSDN. But do you
mean a message loop? I've used that sort of thing before and it's worked well.
But I'm not sure how it can fit in with the current way things are done since
sci0_soundserver handles all that? It's a shame the entire event queue can't
use messages so we can dump this whole polling thing but I don't think non-
Windows has that.
Regarding SDL, why not just make the SDL-xxx directory SDL\lib etc... rather
than SDL-1.2.2\lib?
Cheers,
Alex.
