How do you separate game logic from display?

Question

How can you make the display frames per second be independent from the game logic? That is so the game logic runs the same speed no matter how fast the video card can render

Answer 1

Koen Witters has a very detailed article about different game loop setups.

He covers:

• FPS dependent on Constant Game Speed
• Game Speed dependent on Variable FPS
• Constant Game Speed with Maximum FPS
• Constant Game Speed independent of Variable FPS

(These are the headings pulled from the article, in order of desirability.)
