More fun than the law should allow :) (still more GS programing quirks)



Thanks everyone for the help.  Now that finals are over I think I have spent 2  
days straight programing... (I do need to locate the compile code for GNO so I  
don't have to use orca, but that is a different story)

My latest complaint is starting quickdraw....
the startgraph and startdesk macros that orca provide seem to work fine.
however I have yet to get QDStartUp to do any more than bomb the machine.
yes I am using memory manager.. yes I am getting 3 pages of memory from  
newhandle.  I have even copied the code from HodgePodge (barf gag) and have yet  
to get it to work..
my other latest complaint is getting a program to quit :) (sad but true)
I have used the FWEntry routine succesfully (FINALLY, MUCH THANKS) to read the  
joystick and place a spot on the screen...(using startgraph to get things  
going) then loop through reading the joystick until a key is pressed on the  
keyboard. Real easy.. this code works fine.. and endgraph shuts things down  
nicely.
BUT THEN...
I added some code that scrolls stars across the screen in the background.  Real  
easy also.. But now the code won't stop.  when a key is pressed the screen  
clears to text and the machine does nothing.. I just see the cute orca screen  
with no prompt and my last command.... I have not started any new tools, there  
is no system crash it just hangs.
the stars scroll nicely though :)


Thanks..
