I'm trying to make a demoscene/animation and I can't find any way to wait less than a second.
Please don't reply with

Code: Select all

 for x = 1 to 9999999999999
 next
Because my PC is WAYY too fast.
Thanks,
giwake

TIMER can be used down to 1/18th of a second: http://www.qb64.net/wiki/index.php/TIMER

You can use _DELAY in QB64 only for delays of less than one second down to .001

That makes a delay of 0.1 seconds (1/10th) of a second. Adjust the number to suit your fancy.

Code: Select all

start#=timer
Do
loop until (timer - start#) >= 0.1
