How go I get the correct Frames Per Second count for my code? I cannot see a command that gives it out so I assume you must code a routine to calculate it?

Thanks

There's not. Plenty of FPS counters in the code archives though.

Check out my frame-limiter at my programming tutorial.

The methods involve having a timer variable. Each frame add one to a counter, and check to see if a second has passed on the timer. If it has, the value in the counter variable is your FPS.

Or... My way is to count 10 frames and see how long it took to do those frames.

time=MilliSecs()
fps#=1000/(time-time2)
time2=tt
Text ´10,10,"FPS: "+Int(fps#)

That's a simple Way to add a fps counter.

>fps#=1000/(time-time2)
will always return an int like this.

Do instead :
fps#=1000.0/(time-time2)
