It's good reading but not usefull in a Msource. We always check if the time is more than; but if we would want to use equal to - this would be a good idea
And also, I didn't know TickCount was so unprecise

http://gpwiki.org/index.php/VB:Tutorials:WINAPI:Timers Thought some of you might find that interesting, especially since Matt was having problems with GetTickCount, and had to convert to something else. |

Verrigan's method is super precise. Down to the nanoseconds. Lol. It doesn't mess up the system if it loops to a negative number either. |

He was also the very first person to release anything with seamless maps. He didn't finish it though, you had to do the rest yourself. Misunderstood optimized Verrigan's system. |

Yeah...timeGetTime had problems for me. I think it was the timeBeginPeriod. When I tried to connect to my game, the loop at ConnectToServer would never finish. So I had to restart. I ended up just using Verrigan's method with GetSysTimeMS. It works beautifully. |
