Performance - johnno56 - 05-19-2025
Quick question.
I understand the purpose of the "fwait" command and it use to control the "speed" (for want of a better word) of the program. What I would like to know is... is there a way for N7 to display the current FPS? For example: If I wanted to check the performance impact by moving more and more sprites on the screen... Or even like an FPS counter when running stress tests... that kind of thing... I hope that I am making sense... Just curious...

Perhaps like this one .....
Code:
set window "FPS Checker",400,300
set redraw off
' Variables to calculate FPS
time_start = time()
frame_count = 0
fps = 0
fw = 60
'Main Loop
while not keydown(KEY_ESCAPE,true)
' Clear screen
set color 32,32,32
cls
' Frame counting
frame_count = frame_count +1
time_now = time()
' Calculate FPS every second
if time_now - time_start >= 1 then
fps = (frame_count) / (time_now - time_start)
time_start = time_now
frame_count = 0
endif
' Display FPS
set caret width()/2, height()/2
set color 255,255,255
center "Current FPS: " + fps
' Update screen
redraw
if keydown(KEY_UP,true) then fw = fw + 10
if keydown(KEY_DOWN,true) then fw = fw - 10
fwait fw

Great example.
I would just add the following to it, to make it easier to switch between max fps and 60 fps - I find that this really helps when you are trying to check fps, but still easily see how the game is running when the fps is set to a "normal" rate. You can retain the smaller increments/decrements in fw by amalgamating the key up and key down actions within this code, if desired.
Code:
if keydown(KEY_SPACE)
fw = 1000
else
fw = 60
endif
