Good one RBRAZ  Ran @ 60 fps on my home machine 120 + and unreadable on my office box -

Waaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast, it takes about 1s to get to the end of the scroll!  Any chance you could do one with some time clamping in?

Definately too fast ... but it looks like it seems to be a very cool fx.

[rdc]

Neat.

[Shockwave]

Super cool and with subtitles too

I've already added a delta time function, the problem is that I make mistake with win api "getmessage" and "peekmessage" again  , changed to "peekmessage" method, should work fine now...  (i hope  )

@Benny!, @Jim: Can you test it again, please 


Thanks all for your comments!

@rbraz:

Tested new version - but unfortunately no visible changes. Still way too fast.
Maybe we can help you if you post parts of the source.

Still way too fast on my system mate. And I mean WAY. It's like reading lettering on a motorbike going at 100 mph!

[Rbz]

hmm, I need to work a little bit more on it  , thx dudes for your help...

[slinks]

Hey, if you're able to code it in the first place, getting it slower shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[Shockwave]

It ran fine here... (No gfx card, only onboard gfx).

[.:] Druid [:.]

nice one..it works fine here btw.   

[Jim]

Redownloaded.  On the PC it had problems on yesterday it's still lighting fast.  At home, though, it's fine. 

It's a good effect at the right speed

Runs fine here and readable, welldone Rbraz dude

[Rbz]

Thanks dudes 

File updated...

[Jim]

New version is better (I guess with the QueryPerformanceFrequency) but it's still far too fast, way faster than at home.

<edit>One possibility is that the frequency is vastly different on different PCs.  Sometimes that's true on multicore/HT P4s.  Check to see if your calculation is overflowing or having precision problems.  If in doubt, try casting to 'double'.

It very cool effect from what I can make out (

it rand at 290fps here,  but my gfx settings forced vsync off, I put it on, and it ran at 60fps, but its still scrolling too fast to make out the text

[benny!]

Thanks dudes 

File updated...

Runs like a charme now. Very good fx. Well done !!!

[taj]

Rbraz,

both versions work fine here (even though the cube test program goes nuts). I think you should get two votes cos you have two scrollers on the screen at once :-)

Nice twisty effect.
