✨ NAME ✨

SDL::GFX::Framerate — framerate calculating functions 🎬⏱️

(this is the pods::...amerate(3pm) page btw, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — hi bestie, you found it 💖)

🎀 CATEGORY 🎀

GFX ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the framerate functions are literally the chill pill of your graphics loop 💊✨ — you use them to insert delays into the graphics loop so your framerate stays, like, constant. no cap. steady vibes only 🧚

👑 METHODS 👑

🌸 init 🌸

use SDL;
use SDL::GFX::Framerate;
use SDL::GFX::FPSManager;

my $fps = SDL::GFX::FPSManager->new(0, 0, 0, 0);

SDL::GFX::Framerate::init($fps);

Initializes the framerate manager, sets the default framerate to 30Hz and resets the delay interpolation. it's giving "fresh start, clean slate, main character energy" 😌🫶

💅 set 💅

SDL::GFX::Framerate::set($fps, 60);

Sets the new desired framerate to 60 frames per second. glow up your fps, periodt 🔥

⭐ get ⭐

my $rate = SDL::GFX::Framerate::get($fps);

Gets the currently set framerate of the manager. just a lil vibe check on your fps 👀💖

🌈 delay 🌈

SDL::GFX::Framerate::delay($fps);

Generates a delay to accommodate the currently set framerate. call this once in the graphics/rendering loop 🌀

heads up bestie: if the computer cannot keep up with the rate (i.e. drawing too slow 😭), the delay is zero and the delay interpolation is reset. so like, your machine's slowness = no delay, interpolation goes back to square one. facts are facts 💀
