Since the screen content rarely changes you should only need to update the screen when something changes, and even then it would likely just be a section of it.

For movement/animation 12 fps is going to look hideous. Why not restrict it to 60 instead?

i dont know honestly... i will see what happens :)

this is a more up-to-date ss, where I placed some players' cards at their playing position :)

You should draw a border around the cards to cards of the same colour don't look like one (the blue ones in the screen shot).

Consider using images . . . for example, the ones on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNO_(game)

Or you could take images from existing UNO games such as: http://sourceforge.net/projects/unonet

They look much better than drawn rectangles. ;)

dont worry about the graphics you guys, i will co-op with some photoshop guy in the future ;)
