How to show FPS in game and how to increase the distance for shadow shading?

How to show FPS inside the game and how to increase the distance for shadow shading?

Many thanks for any help.

I have found:

auto font = LoadFont("Fonts/arial.ttf");
    auto sprite = CreateSprite(world, font, "", 18);
    sprite->SetRenderLayers(128);
    sprite->SetPosition(2, framebuffer->size.y - font->GetHeight(18) - 2, 0);

    //Main loop
    while (window->Closed() == false)
    {
        //Display the feamerate
        sprite->SetText("FPS: " + String(world->renderstats.framerate));

        world->Update();
        world->Render(framebuffer);
    }

 

but I still can't see the fps.

auto sprite = CreateSprite(world, font, "FPS", 18);
    sprite->SetRenderLayers(128);
    sprite->SetPosition(2, framebuffer->size.y - font->GetHeight(18) - 2, 0);
    sprite->SetRenderLayers(2);
    world->RecordStats();

    auto uicam = CreateCamera(world, PROJECTION_ORTHOGRAPHIC);
    uicam->SetClearMode(CLEAR_DEPTH);
    uicam->SetRenderLayers(2);
    uicam->SetPosition(framebuffer->size.x / 2, framebuffer->size.y / 2);

    //Main loop
    while (window->Closed() == false and window->KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE) == false)
    {
        sprite->SetText("FPS:" + (String)world->renderstats.framerate);
        while (PeekEvent()) {
            ui->ProcessEvent(WaitEvent());
        }
        world->Update();
        world->Render(framebuffer);
    }

 

 

I modified some lines and this works for fps showing.

 

The second question is still not answered.

In the default main.lua script there is some code that shows stats and FPS.

	--Render statistics
	context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
	if DEBUG then
		context:SetColor(1,0,0,1)
		context:DrawText("Debug Mode",2,2)
		context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)
		context:DrawStats(2,22)
		context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
	else
		--Toggle statistics on and off
		if (window:KeyHit(Key.F11)) then showstats = not showstats end
		if showstats then
			context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)
			context:DrawText("FPS: "..Math:Round(Time:UPS()),2,2)
		end
	end

I usually use a third-party tool like FRAPS because it ensures consistency across all programs.

Thanks you, how could I increase the shadow rendering distance? I have tired  world->SetLightQuality(2) or light->SetRange(10000) or     light->SetRange(-10000,10000), it doesn't work.

Other than setting the light quality, you don't have that much control over directional lights. They can only cover a limited area.

In Ultra I plan to have a command like Light:SetShadowDistance(range, stage) to provide more control over this.

Hope the shadow function works soon.
