for reasons I can not figure out the window closes 30 seconds or so after being triggered to do so.

also the beep occurs even less frequently when it should occur every second.

any help would be appreciated.

Hello there :oops:

Here's my solution.

Add

Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)

at the start of your code, then add

Func Quit()
DllClose($dll)
Exit
EndFunc

somewhere between the functions

and finally - the most important - change "Do ... Until ..." to

While 1
$StartTime = _Timer_Init()
    While _Timer_Diff($StartTime) < (1010 - ($Level * 10))
        ReadyMovement()
    WEnd
Tick()
Move()
Evolve()
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Quit")
WEnd

It works perfectly!!! :bye:

Thank you, that did the trick.

I understand why the changes worked but not why my version failed.

Do you know why?

Mainly because you had way too much lengthy operations inside your message loop.

As a general rule of thumb, you should keep the processing of messages (GUI or others) as short as possible.

Switching to OnEvent mode fixed that. Read the help file about these words.

This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available). An absolute must have in your bookmarks.
Another excellent RegExp tutorial. Don't forget downloading your copy of up-to-date pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe here
RegExp tutorial: enough to get started
PCRE v8.33 regexp documentation latest available release and currently implemented in AutoIt beta.

SQLitespeed is another feature-rich premier SQLite manager (includes import/export). Well worth a try.
SQLite Expert (freeware Personal Edition or payware Pro version) is a very useful SQLite database manager.
An excellent eBook covering almost every aspect of SQLite3: a must-read for anyone doing serious work.
