I have some massive problems with a game demo I am writing.
I wouldn't mind only it's for my dissertation at uni (ie my degree
depends on it) and it's due in in 2 days!

It's a horizontally scrolling shoot em up game, and when I try
to have more than 20 enemies (that at this point simply consist of
32x32 sprites that use gssortsprite) they flicker and jump around
horribly. This is totally stupid, and I've tried varying every single
bit of code I have to no avail.
Also the rather unwanted side-effect of commenting out a function call
that is only 2 lines of code prevents the 2 following functions calls
to not work!

I am totally panicking and would kill for any help!

Because my university has failled to give me the required password and
web site URL that goes with the yaroze I am using, I have had to put
it on my brother's Middlesex account, and it can be found at:

BTW since I am a beginner to C programming, I don't understand header
files properly, hence my program simply includes the other files (I
can afford to compile it like this since I have a relatively meaty
PC).  What this means is that if you change any file, you'll have to
do MAKE CLEAN before MAKE, else it won't register changes in anything
other than main.c. Sorry, it's wrong and I know it, but no time to
change it now!

Any help (incredibly) gratefully accepted!
