Another Frame limiting thread. Tween or delta?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Another Frame limiting thread. Tween or delta?

Amon	(Posted 2006) [#1]

I've searched the forums and found a couple of threads that deal with frame limiting. One thread discussed tweening and the ohter delta timing.

Which one should I use?

Also, can anyone post a simple delta time or tweening example that I could just plug in to my code and get up and running without too much hassle?

I've tried indiepaths Deltatiming code but it doesn't work. I get screen flicker and the NOSYNC flag for graphics doesn't seem to work anymore.

Thanks :)

Correction, it's your code that does not work. All of the Indiepath Games use this code and they *ALL* work :)

Flip(0)?

Hi! You're both correct. Flip 0 fixed it. Does NOSYNC not work anymore?

What's Tweening and what's Delta-Timing? I use one of them, but I'm not sure, which one *g*

Amon, you've got my framework, why not copy out the fixedratelogic/delta time code, it works very well indeed (just don't post it on the forums ;-)).

Hi Grey. I'll take a look. :)

In the meantime does this look ok or am I doing something wrong? What happens is that didly moves really slow for 5px per frame loop.

I think I fixed it. Will post if I haven't. :)

cool, hope you've sorted it. Sometimes a fresh look is good.
