Something like: Global fps, fps_time, fps_counter Function fps() fps_counter = fps_counter+1 If fps_time < MilliSecs() fps = fps_counter fps_counter = 0 fps_time = MilliSecs()+1000 EndIf Return fps End Function --> Posted : Tuesday, 10 April 2007, 06:48 Jayenkai Peeks and Pokes are more fun Posted : Tuesday, 10 April 2007, 06:50 Paul Peeks and Pokes are more fun And I only use one variable which is more fun as well Posted : Tuesday, 10 April 2007, 07:58 mike_g Hey Paul, I might use this I always made my FPS functions the way diablo showed, but on bigger programs I like to try an use as little globals as possible so that I dont end up with a giant list of em.
