Add an event rate management #17

Open asmodehn opened 10 years ago

asmodehn commented 10 years ago

XorfacX: In order to optimize p0 we need to be able to set an event check rate different of the framerate. He should be set when the mainlop is launched. Something like mainloop(framerate = 60, eventrate = 30) Perhaps also add a prerender/postrender rate ?

asmodehn commented 10 years ago

Well I am not even sure a event rate is really usefull, so wait and see before discussing post and prerender functions ;) Question : what should we do if the event rate is faster than the frame rate ? ignoring it is easy, but if we want to take it into account, the code calculating the time might be too heavy and slow things down too much to be usefull. :p

XorfacX: never go faster than the refresh rate. it's not useful and will certainly cause unpredictable result. the objective is to optimize speed not add a functionnality, if it's useful, we'll thik about it later

Alright ;-) thats what I thought but I prefer having a confirmation. Thats done and should now be tested :-p If the eventrate is faster than the refresh rate, then it will be ignored, and event will happen every frame anyway.
