#include
#include // timeGetTime() is in this on

// ...

static DWORD flNewElapsedTime;
static DWORD flOldElapsedTime = 1;
static int flFrameRate = 0;

// In the main game loop (before the render/calc/AI):

flNewElapsedTime = timeGetTime();

// and when all the stuff is done:

flFrameRate = (int)(1000/(flNewElapsedTime - flOldElapsedTime));
flOldElapsedTime = flNewElapsedTime;
flNewElapsedTime = timeGetTime();

// And there it is

how to determine the fps in a directX app. do you just have a static counter in your game loop and use windows' timer functions to determine when a second passes, then show the value and reset it to zero? are windows' timer functions very accurate? or how could you accomplish this using GetTickCount() ?

Thanks
