I'm doing some physics programming and want to calculate displacement by distance over time rather than over loops as that can get rather messy, can I use the ticks_to_millisecs(gettime()) functions to calculate this?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,1923#msg-1923Sun, 19 Apr 2026 01:02:46 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,2045#msg-2045 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,2045#msg-2045 WiiPhlex CodingSat, 20 Sep 2008 08:49:10 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,2042#msg-2042 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,2042#msg-2042 HyperHacker CodingSat, 20 Sep 2008 07:47:49 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,2037#msg-2037 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,2037#msg-2037
int old = ticks_to_millisecs(gettime())
while(1) {
showaframeandtakeuserinput();

int new = ticks_to_millisecs(gettime())

int elapsed = new-old;

old=new;
updategamestate(elapsed);
}

just divide elapsed by 1000 to get the number of seconds, that way most of the physics formula which use seconds will be much cleaner.]]> WiiPhlex CodingSat, 20 Sep 2008 04:07:39 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,1942#msg-1942 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,1942#msg-1942 WiiPhlex CodingSun, 14 Sep 2008 03:57:03 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,1935#msg-1935 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,1935#msg-1935 Arikado CodingSat, 13 Sep 2008 23:22:15 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,1923#msg-1923 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,1923,1923#msg-1923 WiiPhlex CodingSat, 13 Sep 2008 10:11:38 +0200
