+ Code Snippet

int number = 0;
void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	dbSyncOn   ( );
	dbSyncRate ( 60 );
	number = 0;
	while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
	{
		number += 2;
		dbPrint (dbStr (number));
		dbSync ( );
	}
	return;
}

in the code, the variable value of the numbers would be 2,4,6,8,10, ...
so my question is how to stop a variable accretion rate?
just like the 0 + 2 = 2 but still in a While

Hi, if I'm understanding what you are asking properly, the way I'd do this is the same way I have done so to mainain steady framerate in my game, and that is to basically use a timer to make sure the interval between increments is relatively the same. i.e in pseudo-code:

+ Code Snippet

constant INTERVAL 200
timepoint2 = systemtime + INTERVAL
number = 0
begin loop
   timepoint1 = systemtime
   if (timepoint > timepoint2) then inc number
   timepoint2 = timepoint1
end loop

this will mean that number is incremented only after the INTERVAL has elapsed. i.e. it is providing a minimum delay only, and does not guarantee that the accretion rate is always the same.
hope this helps.
