How can I display the number of Frames Per Sec, or put the FPS into a variable ?

Time each frame, average this out over a few frames, and take the reciprocal.

Got any source code?
Also, how would i use the GLprint fun used in the nehe tuts to print the value of a variable?

my site for sex and source code !!!!! (ok scrub the first bit)

http://glvelocity.gamedev.net has a class that does everything you need. Check it out in his Code repository section.

I would also look on this page. It has an excellent class for text display. Works just like a printf().

i wrote a small function/tutorial to do this which uses nehe's timer function from lesson 21

it displays the fps as a bar at the bottom of the screen (which i find easier to read than a constantly changing number)
