I could only manage 5 seconds. :-) The ball really moved fast on my machine. My cpu usage never went above 5%. Maybe your high cpu usage has something to do with the amount of video card( and/or ram) you have? I have a 2Ghz Athlon, 1 gig ram, and 128 meg Radeon video card. You probably could incorparate a variable delay, selectable by the user. If I set the delay up to 40, it was more fun. Maybe you could test the system somehow, by seeing how fast the ball moves during a delay period, and automagically set the initial delay. Then have the delay decrease as the game goes on?
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
