I have not compiled a debug version of my program in a long while, and while I was testing my program yesterday discovered the disturbing fact that, while my debug mode plays 1/2 the speed of the release mode, it plays better. In the past when I have had bugs like this it was because I was accidentally overwriting an array, and because of the mysterious way in which the compiler pads and adds stuff to the debug version, the bug is often masked. I did some serious debugging and found and fixed one bug, but two more are still eluding me and need a more debugging. My question is: could someone please provide me with some debug/release theory under MSVC and what the differences are? It might really help me discover where the other two bugs are. Thanks! James
