[Pysdl-devel] framerate feedback request

[Pete S. <pe...@sh...>]

i'm getting the groundwork for my little game laid, and i'm
at the point where i'd like to see what the performance is
like for different people with different machines and OS's

here is the link to my .ZIP file. unzip the contents, but
be sure to maintain the miniature directory structure 
from inside.

one you're ready to go, run the file "pretest3.py"
this will run the psuedo-demo and report the FPS
every 10 frames...

you are free to look at the code. currently it is
really messy, and far from optimized. i'm still in the
"just do it" planning stages, so i've been trying many
different things and code has been moving around
frequently. 

one file that may be of interest to the outside world
is the "eventhandler.py" this creates a simple class
that calls a member method with the same name as any
sdl events you pass to EventHandler.handle()
(you can see an example on how to use it in pretest3.py)
anyways, this is a pretty nifty class to have around,
and i tried to make the code for this as clean and
documented as can be for now.


anyways, my main concern is to make sure that all the
different platforms are running in the same performance
ballpark. if you can try this out, and report your results
i'd be really greatful.

(also, try switching the SWSURFACE to HWSURFACE on line 12
 to see if there's any difference)

here's my stats, just to share

Celeron-400, TNT2-Ultra, Win98
Hardware =  empty:20.9   full:13.3
Software =  empty:19.3   full:13.2


(also, some of the gfx are temporarily 'borrowed', so i
wouldn't recommend using them for yourself too much)
