Finding a location for a function that would cause it to get called on a constant basis

[Calin Negru]

I tried placing the UpdateGame() function inside the window message processing loop but the execution never reaches that spot

while (WM_QUIT != msg.message)
{
if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);

}
else
{
	 UpdateGame();
}

}

I`m trying to mix code from two different tutorials which might be the cause of the problem. Bellow is what the initial message processing loop looked like.

while (GetMessage(&msg, nullptr, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);

}

At a guess PeekMessage() is always returning true. If you want UpdateGame() to always be called then remove it from the else block:

while (WM_QUIT != msg.message)
{
if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);

}
UpdateGame();

}

Thanks for advice, I’ll give it a try
