Game timing

| After being bamboozled by other threads on the subject of timing I was wondering what methods other are people using with MiniB3D? I can't seem to get my head around fixed step and currently I'm using Noel Cower's deltatime code from the archives. I understand it well enough but I'm getting jitters on a decent spec PC. Also my game will be using replays that can be saved, so I would like them to run at the correct speed on any machine. What's the best method? |

| If you're using my extended Version then there are already functions to get the current fps and the current deltatime. Tglobal.GetFPS() TGlobal.GetDelta() For my next Version I have added a special PhysicUpdate Function which uses accumaltive timestep. There the update function is called multiple times with a fixed update rate to get the diesired update speed. But for everything else I prefer deltatiming. |

| @klepto2 If I use Tglobal.Delta()...it only return 0.000000000 What do I do wrong? Edit:Ahhh UpdateWorld :D Sveinung |

| Ah, thanks Klepto. That works nicely, although I'll still need to work out replay timings. :/ |
