Well I didn't have timeouts per sé. I had everything event driven. I don't really feel like getting out my old hard drive, and I don't own VB6 anymore, but I'd really love to try and rebuild it possibly using SDL.

I guess you could say the timeouts were every millisecond? Although I did recode everything to use frame based movement that were every ten milliseconds, which would make the timeout 0.01 seconds.

The frames per second were ranging from 200-60 wildly so I capped it at 60. The computer I made it on was a pentium 2, with geforce 2 mx 440 graphic card (with 8mb of graphics memory!)
