That's not much of an excuse ;).  You could have asked this question
on the Allegro Game Programming mailing list, if you're subscribed

Aah, I didn't know about that one, sorry again for posting here, but it is
one of the only newsgroups which seems to contain reasonably intelligent
people. Sorry, excuses again...

    do {
        draw_one_frame();
        if (target_game_cycle > current_game_cycle) {
            get_input();
            process_one_game_cycle();
            current_game_cycle++;
        }
    } while (...);

Excellent, I will put this in now. And on a related note, does anyone know
why the Allegro demo sets up a timer at the speed of 6400/SCREEN_W msecs?
Many thanks for your excellent reply to my post.
