Drawing bug, frame rate Q
Author
I've finally rendered graphics to the screen:) All I have is a background and one those icons that's placed to next to the choices on a menu. I have it moving up and down the list when the up and down keys are pressed. However, it's screwy for lack of a better word. Sometimes it moves into a position that's completely away from the choices, and other times it just shifts instantly between choices and whatnot. I'm thinking it might be a frame update problem, because it's surely updating many times a second, and the key is pressed down for a couple frames. I looked on the internet and found a little bit on frame limits by nehe, but I don't think I implemented it correctly because I changed the denominator under CLK_TCK to 1 and it's still updating many times. Here is my main loop:
Any ideas?
Should you be setting movement_timer to 0 every loop?
That seems to defeat the purpose of doing: movement_timer = time_now;
I don't know what clock() returns, but if it's a huge number, when you check if(time_now - movement_timer > CLK_TCK/25), movement_timer is always 0, so it'll prolly always be true, and you'll always check for input.
Try making movement_timer local and static or initialize it to 0 once elsewhere.
