how to show fps

[tankhardrive]

Hey this is a dumb question but how do you go about showing the fps? Is it just the ups from time? Just got this engine and that info would be useful going forward. Ups makes sense it just seems to be very inconsistent.

 

 

Thanks!

yep, that is correct!

 

functionApp:Start()
			self.window = Window:Create("dynamic material example",0,0,800,600,Window.Titlebar+Window.Center)
			self.context = Context:Create(self.window)
			self.world = World:Create()
			self.buffer = Buffer:GetCurrent()
			self.camera = Camera:Create()
			self.light = DirectionalLight:Create()
			self.light:SetRotation(45,45,45)
			self.box1 = Model:Box()
			self.mat1 = Material:Create()
			self.shader = Shader:Load("Shaders/model/diffuse.shader")
			self.mat1:SetShader(self.shader)
			self.shader:Release()
			self.box1:SetPosition(0,0,3)
			self.box1:SetMaterial(self.mat1)

			self.mybuffer = Buffer:Create(100,100,1,1)

			return true
end

function App:Loop()
			if self.window:Closed() or self.window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end

			self.box1:Turn(Time:GetSpeed()*0.5,Time:GetSpeed()*0.5,0)

			Time:Update()
			self.world:Update()
			Buffer:SetCurrent(self.buffer)
			self.world:Render()

			Buffer:SetCurrent(self.mybuffer)
			self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
			self.context:SetColor(1,0,0,1)
			self.context:DrawRect(0,0,100,100)
			self.context:SetColor(1,.5,0,1)
			self.context:DrawText(string.format("FPS: %.2f",Time:UPS()),15,40)

			self.tex = self.mybuffer:GetColorTexture(0)
			self.mat1:SetTexture(self.tex,0)

			self.context:Sync(true)

			return true
end

Awesome thanks thought so was just seeing huge swings in a base app.

Dont forget you can view the fps and more via it this way too...

 

c++

Context *context = Context::GetCurrent();

 

context->DrawStats(10, 10, false);

 

lua (not tested)

self.context:DrawStats(10, 10, false)
