Re: Game loop with Gtk.

[JParker coinstar com]

G'Day !

Eric Harlow covers the subject pretty nicely in his book.  He then gives you a
demo program using the old defender game as an example.

I keep losing the URL  :-(    It's a really great reference, I wish the link on
the GTK+ home page would be fixed.  (hint, hint  :-)

cheers,

Does anyone have any advice on using GTK to write a
game style loop using Gtk?

What is the best type of widget to use for images?
Canvas items? Pixmaps? Pixbufs?

How do I achieve double buffering? How do I move
images around the screen as smoothly and fast as
possible?

Thanks.
