I am using the SVGALIB 1.4.3 graphics library in my program (which is written in C) and i am trying to do a simple animation. I am currently using a FOR loop to control the movement of the shape. Trouble is, i need it to be able to delay in milliseconds on each iteration of the FOR loop.
I created a function earlier which ran 120000 x 5 iterations of a for loop to delay the next draw which worked fine on my P1 laptop. however, i believe on a modern P4 machine this would have virtually no effect.
It is a must that i use SVGALIB. Any suggestions to how i could go about delaying the draws? Thank in advance.
