Problem with timer :(

I think that wont work with MultiThreading :-(

I tried that with my other game using the MT but it behaves crazy hehe

I'm not sure if the 2.0 multithreaded behaves the same (I haven't tested it), but under GD1.04 the timer works fine with the multithreaded framework (both pocketPachisi and 5 Card Spin use it). You might try creating the timer on the first pass through ProcessNextFrame to ensure you are on the draw thread. You can do this by testing if m_timerID == 0 in ProcessNextFrame and creating then creating it. As long as m_timerID > 0 then you won't recreate the timer.

Thanks for your help, but...
- It didn't work with MT, even when I created the timer in ProcessNextFrame

- I tried to replace CGapiApplicationMTWithSound by CGapiDrawApplicationWithSound (the one that should be single threaded) but despite my efforts it wouldn't compile :(
I'm still using 2.01b, maybe there's something with that.

I enventually decided to give up trying to add sound for the game...

Post your code or drop Gersen a note. This will help especially there are readers here who can help you. I'm using Hekkus and it's great :-)

If someone is still interested I have updated my GapiDraw+Hekkus sample (GD 3.01b and Hekkus 0.99.x).
Later I will add a sample for GD 3.5.
You can find all on my website.

Have fun
