Am I doing it right? and double buffering

« Posted 2005-04-22 19:06:07 »

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to programming, but I really want to make a game. I know this is a really easy question, but it is late, and I don't want to spend the next couple of hours doing something wrong. I want to move an object around with the keyboard, is this the best way of doing it? And how do I implements double buffering to avoid flicker?
