[Solved] Display Framerate (In FPS) In A Ren'Py Game

[Spacepiratehacker54]

Hello, I'm thinking of having a shooter section in my game which will require to have 100+ objects on the screen at a time (with x/y velocity/acceleration, etc). Right now everything still seems to run smooth (last test: about 60 objects on screen), but I'd like to check the performance in real time by looking at numbers, so is there an easy way to display the fps in my game (kinda like when using FRAPS) and if there isn't what kind of programs/software/etc. do you recommend to measure the fps?

You could just run Fraps and then your game (Fraps should be able to detect and overlay the framerate in Ren'Py).

If you want to do from Ren'Py itself in realtime, I guess you could maybe do this (UNTESTED):

Code: Select all

screen fps_display():

    $ frames = renpy.get_refresh_rate()

    text "[frames]"

    timer 1 repeat True action SetScreenVariable('frames', renpy.get_refresh_rate())

label start:

    show screen fps_display

Not sure if that in itself would impact performance though.

... or just

Code: Select all

show screen _performance

F3 doesn't work for me for some reason, but Remix's suggestion did the job. Thanks!
