Hi folks,

I've had the dgdk.Net since it first came out and have tinkerd with it now and again but due to work I've not had much time!

luckily now I have a much easier work load so have decided to start again.

My question is on delta time. I've had a search but nothing seems to quite hit what I'm thinking of.

I understand its used to normalise speeds for lower end systems using an ideal FPS, but do you have to use FPS? have a look please

+ Code Snippet


System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch _stopwatch = new System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch();

long oldTime =  _stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds

//psuedo code
while(game)
{
   long curTime = _stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds;
   float delta = (time - curTime) * 0.001f;
   oldTime = curTime;
}

be a good way to tackle it? Before I crack on I'm wanting to make sure. Ofcourse in proper code it'll be a seperate method.
