How to rotate the pool while the balls going?

I’m totally a beginner. I don’t know how to rotate the pool while the balls going in my Pool3D game.

I assigned the rotation variables to the mouse so that I can rotate the pool by moving the mouse, and then I wrote a procedure (in Delphi) to make the balls going:

procedure go;
…
repeat
handle_contacts;
update_balls;
paint;
until all_balls_stopped;
…

It did work. But then I found that I can’t rotate the pool with the mouse while the balls going on it. How can I rotate it with the balls going at the same time? Please help!

Thanx in advance.

You can f. a. move the Camara in every Animation step or you can befor you make any other movement do a rotation.

try to use application.processmessages within your loop so other procedures can be called within the loop

I really appreciate it if you can tell me more about application.processmessages
