Connect four help
hello... i'm writing a C++/Win32 connect four program... its still in development... but the source can be found here[link]... i'm doing alright... except with updating the board... I used InvalidateRect(hWnd,NULL,true) to update it... the problem is that this updates the entire screen and causes it to flicker... does anyone know any better methods?

The answer to get rid of the flicker was to just update two squares on the board - the piece's from square, and the square the piece is moving to. End of annoying screen flicker.  You might be able to use InvalidateRect, as you do now, but send it the parameters of the two squares that need updating, in two calls. |
