Re: Problems with Tk freezing

You might want to pepper some of your callbacks with calls to $mw->update, especially where it's compute bound.

rinceWind, Thanks for the quick response. I have tried this already, and it still freezes but when it exits displays a 'deep recursion' error. So I had to remove it. :( s&&VALKYRIE &&& print $_^q\|!4 =+;' *\|	[reply]

Having a second look at the code, your app looks very busy. When does it ever hand control back to the event loop to process events? My suggestion is to defer some of the movement events by using timers with after or repeat. This will relinquish some control back to the controlling event loop, and it might get a chance to service some events that have been queued up. -- Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ?
