Speed: Need more!
I have a quite large loop in my program and want to increase the speed at which it runs... Is there any way to do this? The code is below. Although you might want to copy it into wordpad... It may be hard to read otherwise. All varables are delcared as best and small as they could be. Thanks!
For xnow = 0 To XMAPSHOWN * (tile_width + 2) Step tile_width
tilex = tilex + 1
tiley = ycord
For ynow = 0 To ymapshown * (tile_Height + 2) Step tile_Height
tilenow = map(tilex, tiley).land1
If tilenow < 1000 Then GoTo no_draw
If tilenow >= 1000 And tilenow <= 1225 Then page = 1
If tilenow >= 2000 And tilenow <= 2225 Then page = 2
If tilenow >= 3000 And tilenow <= 3225 Then page = 3
If tilenow >= 4000 And tilenow <= 4225 Then page = 4
If tilenow >= 5000 And tilenow <= 5225 Then page = 5
If tilenow >= 6000 And tilenow <= 6225 Then page = 6
If tilenow >= 7000 And tilenow <= 7225 Then page = 7
If tilenow >= 8000 And tilenow <= 8225 Then page = 8
If tilenow >= 9000 And tilenow <= 9225 Then page = 9
tile = (tilenow - (page * 1000)) - 1
i = BitBlt(mapeditor.Picture1. hdc, xnow, ynow, tile_width, tile_Height, Graphics.Graphics_pages(pa ge + 9).hdc, ((tile Mod temtiles_ud) * (tile_width + 2)) + 1, ((tile \ temtiles_rl) * (tile_Height + 2)) + 1, SRCAND)

Just another thought you may find useful - on your iterative "next", comment out (but leave it for readability) the counter name ie Next 'ynow (comment) and Next 'xnow(comment) - this will improve the speed considerable, expecially since there are two nested loops running. Simple but effective.
