Hi fred219,

I'm new here as well, I'm 54, and also from the UK....

I wanted to learn C++, but I didn't just want to see stuff being outputted to the console, so I use SFML, so that I can see what is going on graphically.

I've been learning C++ and SFML for about a year now, and I practice by, trying to re-create the mechanics of older style arcade games.

Programming is a great hobby, and SFML is a great library.

General / Re: Best practice, for using delta time with objects ?

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

I just wanted to, implement a basic delta time for my objects, and wasn't sure which way to go about it.

Thanks.

General / Best practice, for using delta time with objects ?

« on: June 21, 2023, 03:27:04 pm »

Hello guys,

Just a quick question.....

Is it better to have, one clock object, in say, the game class, and pass that to all other objects ?

or, should every object, have its own clock for delta time ?

I think, the clock per object approach, would be more accurate.....

Thanks.
