After spending a greuling weekend of coding on my Raider’s Saga RPG
project I’ve come to the point where I actually need to optimize
something (because for the most part it actually works 
). But I’m
wondering if the strategy I’ve choosen is the best one for my app.
The app that needs the optimization is my map editor (which a
screenshot is available at members.xoom.com/kokido/screenshots.html),
the code will be available as soon as I finish the optimizations (and
remove some non critical bugs). Basically the inner loop is doing the
following (psuedocode) :
do {
get_keys_and_update_mouse_position_and_buttons();
do_stuff_with_key_presses();
see_if_gui_buttons_were clicked();
if(current_tile_was_changed) {
redraw_tiles();
}
redraw_special_tiles();
redraw_grid();
} while it’s_still_running;
redraw_tiles() {
}
redraw_special_tiles() {
}
redraw_grid() {
}

Sounds reasonable. What’s the problem?
