The unit that is Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:14:08 GMT rbaprog http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7610 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7610 ... The problem is that SOAP uses a different encapsulation in each version, there seems to be a difference even in the way Delphi Pro/Enterprise handles this Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:08:22 GMT Ian Munro http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7609 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7609 Hello, Anyone have experience writing a Delphi app that connects to a .net WCF service ? I'm an having no fun with this at all. I've imported the WSDL file but Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:05:58 GMT ericmort19 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7608 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7608 Thanks Ian I will give that a try but I don't hold much hope for a solution. 2 very good computer shops I have used before have had a go at my machine and Thu, 04 Jun 2009 07:30:47 GMT Ian Munro http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7607 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7607 Hello, This forum is a bit quiet these days (as are most Delphi forums). You may want to try the forum on the Pascal Game Development website.

The sprites need to move in small increments at frequent intervals to get smooth movement.

I would keep the running on max fps, and update game state at different speed. For example: instead of moving a sprite by Tue, 26 May 2009 01:56:09 GMT ericmort19 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7604 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delphigames/message/7604 I am developing a game using UNDelphiX with Delphi 7 and have a problem with the DXTimer.

I like to monitor the group to keep my programming skills sharp (either learning something or being able to contribute).
