Thread: Question

i got a question there is alot of syntax to learn in OpenGL and D3D should i try to memorize all of it or keep a database of all the functions and search for them when i need ?

memorize

i better start now then does anyone know if there is something wrong with this code? im getting realy bad framerates with nothing drawn i just cant work it out
here is what i am using to find the framerate

Code:

static float lastTime = 0.0f;
   static float framesPerSecond = 0.0f;
   static char FrameRate[50] = {0};

   float CurrentTime = GetTickCount() * 0.001f;
   ++framesPerSecond;

   if(CurrentTime - lastTime > 1.0f)
   { 
	   lastTime = CurrentTime;
	   sprintf(FrameRate,"FrameRate : %d",int(framesPerSecond));
       framesPerSecond = 0;
   }
   glDrawText(10,10,FrameRate);

There is nothing wrong with the code. Its the same code I use which I got from gametutorials.com

What frame rate are you getting?
I dont think glDrawText() is a standard function so maybe something is going wrong in there.
