Thanx for replying JackRabbit,
But i don''t see where is defined the variable "FPS" and how it changes it''s value.
PLZ siaspete can u tell us what u use to print the frame rate on the screen?
Test my sidescroller

Well, i have a function to calculate the FPS value, which
i call once every frame. It look like this:
Then in my main loop, i simply declare a variable to hold the
value returned, like this:
int FPS = CalcFPS();
And then i write that variable to the buffer, which is then
printed on the screen, like i showed you above.
Hope this makes sence!

int CalcFPS(){ static int FPS = 0; static int frameCount = 0; static long startTime = GetTickCount(); // Has 1 second passed ? if( ( GetTickCount() - startTime ) > 1000 ) { FPS = frameCount; // Save the frame count frameCount = 0; // Reset framecounter startTime = GetTickCount(); // Get new starttime } else { // Increment frame counter frameCount++; } // Return the FPS return FPS;} Then in my main loop, i simply declare a variable to hold the

Thanx man!
i though the frame rate was shown by directx itself and that FPS was a directx's variable like LPDIRTECDRAW is directx's structure
LOL

Nice! 75fps on an Athlon 1800XP (1.53GHz) 64MB Gf3, 512MB sysram, Windows XP
Only ran it in full-screen with the retrace on. And I see you do have some enemies; they just only spawn and then run to the lower right corner of the game world :-P
cool, hope to see it when it''s finishd.

My system:
PIII-550 Intel
640 MB ram
GeForce3 TI-200 (64 mb)
ran with 74 fps... Somehow i wasnt able to switch to "dont wait for vertical retrace"...

Thanks for you input guys!
Glad it worked for you.
I think its the GeForce card. Alot of people(includig myself) cant switch off VSync.
Heheee, damn annoying isnt it ?
I have fixed that though. Now they stay on the platforms they land on. Unless ofcourse the collision fails, and they fall through.
Btw, the collision still isnt fixed. Im not really sure how to go about the problem. So if anyone have any ideas, or an URL you think could help, let me know.
Thanks once again for posting!

(It's just 2 small details, though) // Has 1 second passed ? if( ( GetTickCount() - startTime ) >= 1000 ) //<--Greater OR equal to { FPS = frameCount; // Save the frame count frameCount = 0; // Reset framecounter startTime += 1000; //<--Forward to the next second } /John

Yes, im sure your method would work just as well.
Though im not really sure about incrementing startTime by
a constant. It looks ok, but im dont know if it would be
as accurate as getting the new time. Maybe im just paranoid
Though i doubt that the difference would be worth worying about.
PS:
Any of you Guru''s out there, feel free to step in any time and slap us both around with a large trout, if we are way wrong about this one
