SYNOPSIS
use SDLx::FPS;
my $fps = SDLx::FPS->new(fps => 60);
while(1) { # Main game loop
# Do game related stuff
$fps->delay;
}
DESCRIPTIONSDLx::FPS simplifies the task of giving your game a framerate.
Basically, it combines the methods of "SDL::GFX::Framerate" and
"SDL::GFX::FPSManager" into a single module. Use it to delay the main
loop to keep it at a specified framerate.
METHODS
new
my $fps = SDLx::FPS->new( fps => 30 );
No arguments are required, if no "fps" is specified, the default FPS is
30.
set
$fps->set($new_framerate);
Same as "SDL::GFX::Framerate::set". Set the new desired framerate.
get
Same as "SDL::GFX::Framerate::get". Get the currently set framerate.
delay
Same as "SDL::GFX::Framerate::delay". Generate a delay to accommodate
currently set framerate. Call once in the graphics/rendering loop. If
the computer cannot keep up with the rate (i.e. drawing too slow), the
delay is 0 and the delay interpolation is reset.
framecount
Return the "framecount".
rateticks
Return the "rateticks".
lastticks
Return the "lastticks".
rate
Return the "rate".
