Re: FPS Delay

Just use _LIMIT.

T# = TIMER
DO
    _LIMIT 60 ‘60 frames per second
    IF TIMER - T# > 1 THEN
        T# = TIMER
        LOCATE 1,1: PRINT FPS
        FPS = 0
   END IF
LOOP UNTIL _KEYHIT

T# = TIMER
DO
    _LIMIT 60 ‘60 frames per second
    FPS = FPS + 1
    IF TIMER - T# > 1 THEN
        T# = TIMER
        LOCATE 1,1: PRINT FPS
        FPS = 0
   END IF
LOOP UNTIL _KEYHIT



Sorry.  Left the counter out.

Of course don't run that code at midnight!

I use abs(timer -t#) to fudge that a bit, but you need to use 86,400 seconds in a 24-hour day to get code that will adjust properly at midnight for fully reliable timer applications.

So when timer becomes less than t#, which happens right after midnight, t# = t# - 86400.
