Another Day, Another Question. Frames Per Second

[Arius Myst]

I can't work out how the samples obtain the frame rate??

I can get it myself using timers but thats somewhat messy. Could somebody explain to me how this is done please?

basicly, have a global integer. increment it on every render. then every second, print out the number and set back to 0.

theres a better way but thats the best way to get u started

Here si the code I use :

var // global
  Time : Cardinal;
  FPS : Cardinal;

[...]

[Procedure render]

if GetTickCount - 1000 > Time then
Begin
  // Print FPS
  FPS := 0;
  Time := GetTickCount;
end
else inc(FPS);

Ahh course, I never thought of using TickCount. Before i was using the same method but a timer to count the seconds

Thnx guys
