What do you mean by 'autoframeskip'?

I think he means tweening/timing methods.

Ahh,, search on tween or delta or delta time or delta timing or timing and you'll get the most comprehensive debates without any answers you could hope for. The answers are : No, unless you use createtimer/waittimer. Yes, you have to do it yourself. Depends on whether its fast-paced, logic intensive, graphics intensive etc. Here's my code for a .bb tutorial but there's more functional code on the system.

okay thank you

I know its a personal opinion thing, but I go for Timers posting Events, WaitEvent catching, and then tween draw/normal draw deppending on if the event was late or not.
