i wanted to say thanks for all the answers to my 'simple animation'
question. it turns out that i was making some assumptions about
EvtGetEvent and nilEvent. i didnt think nilEvents could come at any
time, only after timeout. i am glad you all set me straight. i will
now have to read the API docs more carefully to avoid making
assumptions.
for those who are interested, i will be posting my new version of Yoda
to PGHQ later today. check there if you are interested. in addition to
a few other enhancements, his eyes now blink and look around from time
to time - all because of the feedback i got here!
also, i vote against a newbie list. i have been on newbie lists before
and gotten nowhere, because noone knew more than me!
