Module ggez::timer [−][src]
Timing and measurement functions.
ggez does not try to do any framerate limitation by default. If
you want to run at anything other than full-bore max speed all the
time, calling thread::yield_now()
(or timer::yield_now()
which
does the same thing) yield to the OS
so it has a chance to breathe before continuing with your game.
This should prevent it from using 100% CPU unless it really needs
to. Enabling vsync by setting vsync
in your Conf
object is
generally the best way to cap your displayed framerate.
