FPS Question...
Author
i got my FPS displaying onto the screen.. but it keeps changing so fast i really cant tell what it says. is a usleep(someNumber) in order or what would you recommend? thanks!
I''d just average the FPS over a certain period of time (e.g. count the number of frames in one second, every second) and output that.

yeah, generally you average over 0.5seconds or over 1 second. i prefer the former. if you're just spitting up FPS every frame you can get widely varied values that as you've discovered make it impossible to read.
my FPS code is as follows:

my FPS code is as follows:
//dT is passed in secondsvoid E_Engine::updateFPS(float dT) { static int FPhalfS = 0; static float timeCount = 0.0f; ++FPhalfS; if ((timeCount += dT) > 0.500) { FPS = FPhalfS / timeCount; FPhalfS = 0; timeCount = 0.0f; }}-me

this is what i have so far...(i am using WinXP)
int DrawGLScene(GLvoid) // Here's Where We Do All The Drawing
{
static int lasttime;
int dt;
dt=glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME)-lasttime;
lasttime=glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear Screen And Depth Buffer
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
printSetup2D(frames(dt)); //prints 2D Font
glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME);
// Reset The Current Modelview Matrix
glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, -5.0);
glRotatef(-90, 0, 0, 1);
glRotatef(rot, 1, 0, 0);
glColor3f(0,0,1);
drawData();
etc etc
}
float frames(int LastFrameTime)
{
static int LastTimes[10]={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
static int c=0;
int i;
float average=0;
c=(c+1)%10;
LastTimes[c]=LastFrameTime;
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
average+=LastTimes;
return 1000.0/(average/10.0);
}
i am getting the average here but it is still too fast. as far as i can tell i am getting 760 FPS, or something like that...

I use an other fps counter:
as global variable
and
every frame
it refresses the fpsnow each second
to use timeGetTime() include stdio.h and lib winmm.lib
long sec1 = timeGetTime();long sec2;int fpsnow = 0;int fps = 0; as global variable
and
sec2=timeGetTime();fps++;if(sec2-sec1>1000){ fpsnow=fps; sec1=sec2; fps=0;} every frame
it refresses the fpsnow each second
to use timeGetTime() include stdio.h and lib winmm.lib

hey thanks a lot! that works better actually that what i have. im trying to slide this into my function called inside a header file but it keeps giving me a FPS amount of 0, despite the global variables being in the main.cpp. hmmmm. anyway thanks so much!
