General / Re: How to Clock framing the game

« on: April 30, 2020, 01:55:30 pm »

Btw, I have trouble with animation and logic times, the animation plays too fast and when I set the clock time to more slowly, it breaks the logic times, and if I use two clocks one for logic one for drawing, it gets ugly and not smooth, what should I do?

void PacmanGame::run() {
        sf::Clock drawClock;
        sf::Time drawframeTime = sf::milliseconds(150);

        sf::Clock logicClock;
        sf::Time logicframeTime = sf::milliseconds(50);

        while (window.isOpen()) {
                sf::Time elapsedDraw = drawClock.getElapsedTime();
                sf::Time elapsedLogic = logicClock.getElapsedTime();

                if (elapsedLogic > logicframeTime) {
                        logic();
                        logicClock.restart();
                }

                if (elapsedDraw > drawframeTime) {                     
                        draw();
                        drawClock.restart();
                }
        }
}

General / How to Clock framing the game

Hopefully this is the right place to ask,
I'm wondering if this is the proper way of doing this clock framing:

void game::run() {

        sf::Clock clock;
        sf::Time frameTime = sf::milliseconds(10);
        while (window.isOpen()) {
                sf::Time elapsed = clock.getElapsedTime();

                if (elapsed > frameTime) {
                        logic();
                        draw();
                        clock.restart();
                }
        }
}
 

Or this is done differently ?
