Why is this happening and is there a fix?

Which version of AppGameKit are you using? Are you using SETSYNCRATE or SETVSYNC?

Are you saying there are gaps in images\tiles as they move or the edges appear to shimmer? you might need to look into 'extruding' your sprite edges http://www.matim-dev.com/texture-packer---get-rid-of-sprite-artefacts.html

If you're talking about tearing, then use SetVsync(1)

SetVsync(1) instead of setsyncrate(30,0) takes care of the 'tearing', unfortunately it makes the game unplayable because now it is set to 60 fps, but SetVsync(2) skips a frame and so far in limited testing I see no 'tearing'/ horizontal redraw lines. Thanks CJB for your input!!!!

Higher frame rate shouldn't make your game unplayable, just look better (unless you are going for that low refresh rate retro look ). Glad you got it sorted
