FPS control
Author
Hi all! Ok, I know I asked this before, but I looked and looked but the post is deleted. Ok, my question is, how do I control the framerate? I DONT want the built in one with SDL. Before someone told me how to do it with GetTicks() or something and it worked. I want that. Thanks.

Something like this?
You could throw in a Sleep(1) or something instead of the empty while-loop.
WaitTime = (1000/desired_fps); loop{ time = GetTickCount(); render(); while(GetTickCount() < time + WaitTime);}You could throw in a Sleep(1) or something instead of the empty while-loop.
His solutions should work. Notice however, that limiting the fps is literally a waste of time. Try timebased movement instead. It works something like this:
1 get time since last frame (say, in milliseconds)
2 move objects by: constant * time since last frame (constant could be how much an object should move per millisecond)
3 render
