The above code runs at around 40-50% CPU usage on my computer Why is this? Are there any tricks to reducing this waste of resources (where a continuous loop is necessary)?

Try making it do something.

If you can do any models for FW, reply to the FleetWars thread.

My point is, surely it shouldn't be using so much processing power since it is doing almost nothing

It's not doing nothing, it's looping as fast as it can and doing a conditional...

I'm far from a great source of advice, but I think this timer class that I wrote once might help:



Of course, it also could be a complete waste of a post. Who knows.

You know what, Mahoney? Thank you. Now I don't have to work out something for DarkStar for reloading and stuff like that.
