 Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2006 3:21 am Post subject: FPS - Frames Per Second |
 |
|
hi
i just tried to write a fps viewer function
(i already implemented it for OGL in windows)
here is my modded file (does not show anythin on psp, why?)
| Code: | // fps requirements
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void initFPS()
{
pspDebugScreenInit();
pspDebugScreenSetTextColor(0xFFFFFFFF); // white
pspDebugScreenSetXY(1,1);
}
void drawFPS()
{
static float framesPerSecond = 0.0f; // This will store our fps
time_t lastTime; // This will hold the time from the last frame
static char strFrameRate[50] = {0}; // We will store the string here for the window title
time_t currentTime = time(&lastTime);
// Increase the frame counter
++framesPerSecond;
if( difftime (currentTime,lastTime) > 1.0f )
{
lastTime = currentTime;
sprintf(strFrameRate, "Current Frames Per Second: %d", int(framesPerSecond));
pspDebugScreenPrintf(strFrameRate);
// Reset the frames per second
framesPerSecond = 0;
}
}

Simple. You made your lastTime variable local for the drawFPS function, thus it get's allocated and initialized everytime the drawFPS function is called and therefore you never (or most likely only once every XXX calls) will get the difftime(...) > 1.0f tu be true.
Put the declaration of lastTime outside the function to make it global. |

make lasttime static too, then it won't get reinitialised , you don't need the sprintf or strFrameRate either,unless you plan to extend the function and use the results elsewhere, the pspDebugScreenPrintf works just like printf too.
| Code: |
pspDebugScreenPrintf("Current Frames Per Second: %d", int(framesPerSecond));

What is the purpose of passing a pointer to lastTime when you retrieve the current time?
| Code: | | time_t currentTime = time(&lastTime); |
If this is setting lastTime to the current time, then difftime() will return zero, and your framerate calculation and printf() would never occur. |

time(); does not work, have to pass something...
i am using getCurrentTickCount in windows... not accessable on psp...
how can i get current time (t_time? / ticks...) without passing somethign?
greets

According to this reference, the time() function will store the current time in the time_t that you pass to it. So why not use:
| Code: | time_t currentTime;
time(¤tTime); |
Of course, you also need to make sure that you properly initialize your static lastTime timer to some "pre-historic" value when your program first starts. You could handle this by calling time() from your initFPS() function:

Did you set the debugScreen offset to where your drawingbuffer is with pspDebugScreenSetOffset((int)framebuffer);? you have to do this everytime the framebuffer changes after a swap and you want to print out something, or else the print will go to somewhere else that you most likely won't see. |

humm... CHP
i tried your RTC 'sample'
and i am using...
| Code: | | #include <psprtc.h> |
but i still get the error:
| Code: | undefined reference to `sceRtcGetTickResolution'
undefined reference to `sceRtcGetCurrentTick' |

already in the makefile...
btw when do i have to add such a tag? (did not see any infos in the doku...)
| Code: |
TARGET = pspLoader
OBJS = pspLoader.o
INCDIR =
CFLAGS = -O2 -G0 -Wall
CXXFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
ASFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)
LIBDIR =
LDFLAGS =
LIBS= -lstdc++ -lpspgum -lpspgu -lm -lpng -lz -lpsprtc
EXTRA_TARGETS = EBOOT.PBP
PSP_EBOOT_TITLE = FPS-TEST
PSPSDK=$(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)
include $(PSPSDK)/lib/build.mak

to add it you'd just add -lpsprtc to LIBS
does blit from the samples/gu/blit compile and link ok?
if so, try putting -lpsprtc first in the LIBS list, i seem to recall seeing something like that being mentioned once before, it shouldn't affect it though
ie like
LIBS= -lpsprtc -lstdc++ -lpspgum -lpspgu -lm -lpng -lz
also make sure psptrc.h is included |
