hi.
why is that happening ?
are there ways to improve it ?
can I open a different APP stationary on the client side ?

basicly asking whats going on with the fps drop , is it as of this version or all html apps works slower?

maybe if I'd know what to tweak it will run better

can I open 2 different html 5 instances , one will gather from the other any information needed so pherhaps I wont have to overload one app by opening two , one will take care of all the hard calculations while the other just present them visual..

edit : ok I just saw RUNAPP() command which is actually what I wanted ... cheers.
would this work with HTML 5 if im on a windows machine ? as stated in the document ?
Could this be possible , cause with this routine I can max fps on html5 using it only to fetch data ?..

one can only dream, and do with AGK.

It depends what you are doing.

Graphically it should be near the performance of the native device as WebGL is hardware accelerated. For logic we use asm.js which can achieve near native performance, or so I've heard. But if you're doing lots of memory manipulation, for example memblocks or large arrays, then I think it's not so good in that area.

One thing I noticed is that if you go to maximum size the framerate was cut in half (from 60 to 30 in my case). I exited full screen, and the fps was still 30. I just took the resize option out of the html.

My game runs at 180 FPS (avg) on my windows machine with a fair amount of sprites. I get 20 FPS when running in HTML. I'm not doing any memblock stuff and don't think I really have large arrays. I'm going to try and narrow it down, but its definitely a large difference.

My game started to lag in full-screen too. And I got a decent gaming PC. It wasn't a lot, but it got noticeable micro freezes here and there.

Paul: if SetVSync(1) is used in AppGameKit i think you need to call: emscripten_set_main_loop_timing(EM_TIMING_RAF,1)

http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/api_reference/emscripten.h.html?highlight=vsync#c.emscripten_set_main_loop_timing

In my test it looks like it always use setTimeout.
best regards Preben Eriksen,
