Is there a way to create a stable framerate? I thing TEVAL() might work, but returns values in _s. I have been just using wait(.025).

Can't you measure what is missing from the frame and adjust the wait?

example:
-get current ticks
-draw routine
-subtract current ticks from stored ticks, and wait what is needed to complete 30 fps, etc?
