Using Nehe''s code i''ve made an FPS counter for my game. Now, if the fps goes greater than something like 250 (possibly 255, that''ld make sense) it displays "1.#J". Im passing a float to glPrint(), i''ve tried other numbers like unsigned ints, longs etc but all seem to produce the same result. Anyone else have this problem?

And what does your print code look like? It should be:

glPrint("FPS: %d", fps);

Is that what you are doing? If so you should have no problems.

I said im passing a float, it looks like:

glPrint("FPS: %.2f", fps);

I''ve also tried using a double, still doesnt work.

Why do you need a float for frames per second? Try it with integers and see if the problem goes away.

I already said in the original post that i''ve tried ints. It displays zero instead.

This is due to the fact that it is a list base. Displays 0 - 255 chars. Make sure you transform the into a string before trying to display it. Otherwise a it thinks it a literal.

sprintf(Buffer,"%d",fps);
glPrint(Buffer);

Which should resolve the issue.

No, that doesnt work. This code inside glPrint(...) does that anyway:

char text[1024]; va_list ap;va_start(ap, fmt);vsprintf(text, fmt, ap);va_end(ap);

No one has an answer for this?

Try converting the variables that you are using to calculate the FPS to floats sooner. The problem may be that you are mixing variable types in the calculation, and that is causing the result to not be converted to the correct type soon enough.

I''ve fixed it now. You were right, jwace, my variable types for calculating the FPS weren''t big enough
