frame-rate

I am writing a simple top down rpg in Pygame, and I have found that it is quite slow.... Although I am not expecting python or pygame to match the FPS of games made with compiled languages like C/C++ or event Byte Compiled ones like Java, But still the current FPS of pygame is like 15. I tried rendering 16-color Bitmaps instead of PNGs or 24 Bitmaps, which slightly boosted the speed, then in desperation , I switched everything to black and white monochrome bitmaps and that made the FPS go to 35. But not more. Now according to most Game Development books I have read, for a user to be completely

It has probably been asked before, but I can't find it anywhere... In videoland, 24 fps and anything above is smooth. Cocos2d seems to be smooth only when its 60 fps or maybe a bit less. Anything between 30 and 50 is certainly not smooth, the fps counter doesn't seem accurate... Why is this? Or is it only me having this situation? There are actually several reasons for this behavior, and it's not just cocos2d but an effect seen in any game engine in environments with vertical synchronization (VSYNC) enabled. On iOS VSYNC is always on, on PCs you usually have the option to turn it off to

I'm making a fairly complex sprite kit game. I recently added support for OS X. I get 60 fps always, regardless of how my game is scaled when the window is resized (even when resized to max screen space). However, the moment I make my App enter "Full Screen," the fps drops to 30-40 fps and stays that way? But if I take my mouse cursor and reveal the menu bar while full screen is enabled, the fps goes back up to 60 fps! You can even test this bug by making a sprite kit game for mac in Xcode using the default template. Here are the screen shots I took of the default game template for mac. I

I'm developping an app which requires capturing framebuffer at as much fps as possible. I've already figured out how to force iphone to capture at 60 fps but - (void)captureOutput:(AVCaptureOutput *)captureOutput didOutputSampleBuffer:(CMSampleBufferRef)sampleBuffer fromConnection:(AVCaptureConnection *)connection method is being called only 15 times a second, which means that iPhone downgrades capture output to 15 fps. Has anybody faced such problem? Is there any possibility to increase capturing frame rate? Update my code: camera = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo

ive got a full screen loading page after my software's done running,which includes a preloader gif file .... which is exactly like the one windows 8 is using for store and metro. however the problem is that no matter what the fps and speed of the gif file is,the C# windows form will show the same lower fps. i really dont know what to do with it as i've tried to search the internet to find a solution but whatever i ran into was either unclear or unrelated. i suspect that somehow the compiler is ignoring the fps integrated within the gif file i imported. but i do not know how i can set the fps

How can I measure the FPS of my ListView ? See the slides 13-17 from http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/world-of-listview-android.html . I don't know about calculating FPS (I guess that should be done system-wide and is not calculated per view), but you can use Hierarchy Viewer to profile performance of each View . It gives you time needed to measure, calculate layout of, and draw each View in milliseconds, and helps you to find slow View objects by showing yellow and red circles indicating bad performance. You might be interested in this ListAdapter, which will wrap another

I want to retrieve the average fps of the measured performance recording. So far I'm only able to get the duration and fps per frame by either hovering over the frame like this: or by selecting the frame: To get the average fps of all frames, I would have to sum and count them one by one by hand, which is quite inconvenient. Firefox devtools for example displays the average fps at the top right of the panel. You can use devtools-for-devtools. Switch devtools to detached window mode (click devtools settings icon, click "undock" icon). Next time you can simply press Ctrl - Shift - D to toggle
