FPS problems

Maybe its because of that GetTickCount() has an error of 0.01s.
Try using QueryPerformanceFrequency and QueryPerformanceCounter.

I tried using those but now I''m getting 0.000000 for my FPS. How am I supposed to use those functions?

They''re both in MSDN.

first of all, when u say something like float x = 1 / 5; u have 0 in x. if u say x = 1.0 / 5.0;, then you have 0.2 in x. be careful about that.

I checked MSDN and that didn''t help at all.

This is how I use it...

//Init this in the begining
LARGE_INTEGER CLOCKFREQUENCY;
QueryPerformanceFrequency(&CLOCKFREQUENCY);


//Do this to get the time in millisecs
LARGE_INTEGER CLOCKCOUNT;
QueryPerformanceCounter(&CLOCKCOUNT);
TimeInMS = (CLOCKCOUNT.QuadPart*1000)/CLOCKFREQUENCY.QuadPart;



//Aram

Alright thanks

Hey guy!
There is nothing hard to get the FPS. Look at my code, for example: (input it in mainloop()

clock_t clock();
seconds=clock()/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
counterFPS+=1; //you just forgot to write this line
fps=counterFPS/seconds;

This code is working well!

how about timeGetTime() method?
I use this method() to count FPS.is it right?

fTick=(float)GetTickCount();
FPS=1.0f/((fTick-fPrevTick)/1000);
fPrevTick=fTick;



It should be "1.0f" not "1"...
