  FPS Limiter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 This is a code that I'm using to limit the max fps in C++/OGL and now converted it to FB, it use a high performance counter (QueryPerformanceCounter) and frequency performance (QueryPerformanceFrequency) to limit the max. frame rate. Feel free to use it in your next productions 

 

Code: [Select]

Option Explicit

' Includes
#Include Once "windows.bi"

'Sub Routines
Declare Sub FPS_Count()
'FPS Counter
Dim Shared iFPS, bSettime,iSecStart,iFrameCount,iFrameStart as integer


'--------------------------------------------------
Const MAX_FPS = 60             'Max FPS Desired
Dim Freq    as LARGE_INTEGER
Dim cTimer1 as LARGE_INTEGER
Dim cTimer2 as LARGE_INTEGER
Dim Interval as double
'--------------------------------------------------

    QueryPerformanceFrequency(@Freq)                'Get Frequency
    Interval = CDBL(Freq.QuadPart) / CDBL(MAX_FPS)  'Calculate interval based on MAX_FPS and Frequency

'Main Loop
While Inkey$() <> Chr$( 27 )
       
    QueryPerformanceCounter(@cTimer2)
    if(cTimer2.QuadPart >= cTimer1.QuadPart + Interval) then
       
        QueryPerformanceCounter(@cTimer1)
               
        locate 8,30
        print "Desired FPS: " & MAX_FPS
        locate 10,30
        print "Current FPS: " & iFPS
   
        FPS_Count()
       
    end if
   
 
Wend
'End Main

Sub FPS_Count()
         If bSettime = 1 then
          iSecStart = Timer() * 1000.0
          iFrameStart = iFrameCount
          bSettime = 0
     EndIf 
     If (Timer()*1000.0) >= iSecStart + 1000 then
          iFPS = iFrameCount - iFrameStart
          bSettime = 1
     EndIf
     iFrameCount = iFrameCount + 1     
End Sub
