I’m not sure if it’s because it is late or because I am blind, but I can’t seem to find any info on coding a moderatly accurate framerate counter. Could someone please give me a hand?
Thanks.
I just converted the VolatileDuke demo to Full Screen Exclusive and I’m curious as to how fast it’s running.
every frame, increment a counter.
every second, print the counter, then zero it.
…and for the purposes of counting seconds, System.currentTimeMillis() will do the trick accurately enough. Every frame just see if it’s gone over a second since you last looked.

just ;D
heheh just is right…
i noted that my loops would run 4 or 5 times without System.getCurrentMillis() returning any different results; then all of a sudden it would change by like 15 or 16 millis…
in the end i just setup it so that it calculates the average framerate over the lifetime of the program.
this is goodenough for my purposes
I’m getting about 450 fps @ 1280x1024x32 with 1 sprite(duke.gif)
does that sound about right? It’s running on a geforce4
After 1 second has passed you will be at most 1.5% inaccurate then. At around 60fps that’s not even measurable so “just” isn’t the word you’re looking for

on a win9x system that error goes upto at most +/-5%.
At 60fps, thats could give an error of +/-3fps, not so inconsiderable 
anyway! it was meant as a joke, lol ;D
