Hi guys, I''ve been programming in VC++ for years but never used a profiler before. I always tried to make my programs fast but it didn''t really matter if something took a half second to compute. Now I''m making a game so it does matter. I use Visual C++ 6.0 with SP5, does that include a profiler ? If not which one should I use ? Also, I''m using DirectX so should I test the algorithms without rendering ? To be honest, I don''t even know how to step through code with DirectX because when I set a break point it never goes back to the debugger. Any help is appreciated.
