A few days ago I managed to convert my game from DarkBASIC CLASSIC to DarkBASIC PROFESSIONAL and my game ran like a charm. Before I only got 59 / 79 Frame rate. Now I get a CONSTANT 169 frame rate! My game is built for lower end pcs so if your pc is a speed demon then you will find that the game is running TOO fast. In a later version, I will have an option of speed and performance  .
Here's a screenie for now (notice how the level is mipmapped smoooooothly):

You can handle this with timebased movement, you just add nothing * (100/ FPS) to your movement functions. But I don't know how (and if) this can be done in DB..

It is possible. There is a thread somewhere... ill try that fps thing.
| Code: |
| Speed#=(5/Screen fps()) |
Or I could have an option OR I can use this little feature I made called AUTOSYNC where it will adjust the SYNC RATE if your frame rate gets too high.
Dave - Yeah it looks like this one will actually be good. |

if your using db pro why dont you just do the Sync rate thing?
just put
sync rate 70
or something else..then it will be constant |

If you limit the sync rate, it'll stop it going over a certain speed, but to be honest that is just messy, and it won't fix it if you have a slow computer. Set the sync rate to 0, and used the delta time method (for simple time based movement). Eg.
| Code: |
do
dt = (timer()-lastLoopTime)*gameSpeed
lastLoopTime = timer()
pos = pos + vel*dt + 0.5*accel*dt*dt
vel = vel + accel*dt
loop |
