how does one check the fps in their game? and what is a good normal/healthy frame rate? tried searching for a tutorial on how to include one, but had no luck. thanks.

try

textNumber=frame

in your text actor

Would start with 25 fps. Depends on target.

No, akr, that won't work.
frame is just the number of the current frame and it grows all the time.
To get the fps, one has to use real_fps

@DollMaster: You can use the akr's code, but change frame to real_fps
And to change fps, go to game properties and there you can see a number which is 30 by default. You can change it to anything.

Thanks. You are right.

what is a good normal/healthy frame rate?

If we talk about smartphones - 24 FPS is quite good. Enough to play normally and discarges battery not so fast.
But ! More important is - stability of FPS. When FPS is stable (for example 23-24 and not lower, when 24 is max ) your game runs smooth. If FPS are unstable - differs from 0 to 24 during rintime - actually noone can play such game.

To make game stable most important is not to overload it with great amount of actors or with great-size actors.

Code: Select all

int FPS=round(real_fps);
sprintf(text, "Frame Rate: %d", FPS);


That will display your frame rate. This code needs to be put in "Draw Actor" on a text actor.

thanks guys.
