anyone got any tricks on how to lock the frame rate to
a give rate - say 24fps and if u cant keep to that then
start missing frames.
i dont mind jerky frames- i need the scene to be
updating on time. is it a case of having a Thread that
updates the logic- then another that updates Xith
running best it can?
or is there a better way?
I was thinking of adding frame limiting to my game soon, but I hadn’t gotten around to it yet. I just implemented the GAGE timer, so I was going to work with that to see if I could set it up. I’ll let you know if I get anything working.
Surely someone else must have done this?
Yep… with GAGETimer its particularly easy.
Where frame time is caculated :
FrameTime = 1.0 / FPS;
Might need to multiply up for milliseconds or something. I always wrap it all up so I deal with seconds.

Thanks as always Kev. Maybe I’ll add this sooner than I had originally planned while we’re on the topic…
Basically used Kev’s SpaceInvaders example as my bible and went to town. Took maybe 15 minutes and I’m locked at ~33fps right now…
Ant, have a look see at this tutorial by Kev:
