Constant game speed independent of variable FPS in OpenGL with GLUT?

Question

I\'ve been reading Koen Witters detailed article about different game loop solutions but I\'m having some problems implementing the last one with GLUT, which is the recommended

Answer 1

You could use glutIdleFunc, which is called continuously whenever possible--similar to the while(game_is_running) loop. That is, whatever logic you would otherwise put into that while loop, you could put into the callback for glutIdleFunc. You can avoid using glutTimerFunc by keeping track of the ticks on your own, as in the article you linked (using glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME)).
