frame-rate

I've noticed significant fps drops (framerate drops between 5-10fps), when unpausing the view in SpriteKit. I tried this with empty project (Spritekit game template). Here is the code: if(!self.view.paused){ self.view.paused = YES; NSLog(@"Paused"); }else{ NSLog(@"Unpaused"); self.view.paused = NO; } If I pause the scene, everything works as expected and frames are steady at 60fps. I am testing this on device. if(!self.paused){ self.paused = YES; NSLog(@"Paused"); }else{ NSLog(@"Unpaused"); self.paused = NO; } This can make a problem with gameplay when unpausing because some frames will be

I am working on a HTML5 canvas animation (to be more precisely a photo slideshow). So far all my slideshows are in flash because last time (March 2010) I looked ihe framerate for Flash was much higher 3x - 4x compared to html5 canvas. Today it is said that current browsers catched up with flash but all the html5 canvas samples I have found so far stutter in current Firefox and Chrome browsers. IN the sample setInterval is set to 15ms which should give alt least 60 fps. But at on my laptop the animation stutters a lot: http://demo.webdevhub.net/canvas/simple/ Are there workarounds for at least

I am trying to make a string with FPS showing, but, how do I actually get my programs FPS? I want to do it with g.drawString(getFPS(), 10, 10) How do I get my FPS? This code does it for me. Put it in your main program loop: //To Measure FPS private long now; private int framesCount = 0; private int framesCountAvg=0; private long framesTimer=0; //Main Game Loop while (isRunning) { //Record the time before update and draw long beforeTime = System.nanoTime(); //... Update program & draw program... // DRAW FPS: now=System.currentTimeMillis(); gEngine.drawFPS(c, framesCountAvg); framesCount++; if

I have a quick question: I am loading a mp3 file into a NSData object and then I play it using the AVAudioPlayer in my game. Every second or so, the frame rate drops and you can see a stuttering on the screen. It is not a major slowdown, but clearly noticeable and disrupting to the gameplay. Not playing the music track with the AVAudioPlayer shows no slow down at all. How can I prevent this from happening? Thank you. Florian For future reference, here is the solution: Setting the audio session category to kAudioSessionCategory_AmbientSound (to allow for iPod music to play simultaneously)
