Thread: how to get fps in opengl

How do you get the frame rate in opengl/c++ ?

ok heres the simplest way

~pseudo code!

Code:

// declare these where you need them

// FPS stores last seconds fps
// fcount is out current fps counter
int FPS = 0, int fcount;
// our timer for each second
long timetest = 0;

//later on...

drawframe();
fcount++;

if(timetest == timer)
{
    timetest = timer + 1 sec; // set timer  for next second
    FPS = fcount;  // set the FPS
    fcount = 0;    // clear the counter
}

GameTutorials has a tutorial on getting the FPS (in OGL). Exactly what yer lookin for .
