Hello, I'm relatively new to programming and this is my first "game". this is the github repo: https://github (dot) com/RoccoGas/Mario_progra/blob/master/Mario_progra I suppose the problem is somewhere in the "level.c" file, in the way that I structured the game loop, but I really have no idea. |

Not an expert, but is al_install_keyboard not necessary? |

@DanielH I install everything in an "initialize_allegro()" function that is called as soon as main starts. The declarataion of the function s in "allegro.c". al_install_keyboard() is in there. |

Not sure exactly what the problem is. But try emptying the event queue before redrawing, and see if that helps: case ALLEGRO_EVENT_TIMER: update_mario(&mario, keyboardState); redraw = true; break; And later you do: if (redraw && al_is_event_queue_empty(queue)) { draw_world(camera, map, tiles); draw_mario(mario); al_flip_display(); redraw = false; } You could also call al_wait_for_event instead of al_get_next_event to avoid running the loop when there is nothing to do. |

You were probably being spammed with repeating ALLEGRO_EVENT_KEY_CHAR events. By ignoring the unused events, the event queue then flowed smoothly again.
