enhancement: Speed unlock / frameskip #164

Open mefistotelis opened 6 months ago

mefistotelis commented 6 months ago

It would be easier to test some rare bugs is there was a possibility to unlock the game speed. Additional speed increase can be obtained by skipping rendering of some frames.

The implementation could be as it is in KeeperFX - Ctrl-+/- (from keypad) to increase/decrease frameskip.

Implemented pressing it once (fps unlock). Further presses (frameskip increase) currently do nothing.

Also it can only be controlled in-game, but has effect on the menu as well - so enabling it and then going back to menu makes it impossible to go back to normal speed..
