Fps??

is there a way to show your fps?

You can try the following code that also shows fps:

If you want to measure FPS in a game, you could do like this:
You need the GetTickCount API for this

VB Code:

public sub checkFPS()
 
dim lastCheck as long
dim FPS as long
dim tmpFPS as long
 
lastCheck = getTickCount
 
do
tmpFPS = tmpFPS + 1
 
if gettickcount - lastcheck > 1000 then
lastcheck = gettickcount
fps = tmpFPS
end if
 
doevents
loop

this is untested code, if it don't work, try to mix it a bit with a mixer:)

Each time you redraw, increment a variable:

Code:

---

CurrentFPS=CurrentFPS + 1

---

Then, every second, swap that to another variable:

Code:

---

If Int(Timer) <> Int(LastTimer) Then
  DisplayFPS = CurrentFPS
  CurrentFPS = 0
End If
LastTimer = Timer

---

That method works pretty well, though it's easy enough to improve.
