Howdy howdy,
I haven''t actually tested your engine (sounds like it kicks arse, though). I''m just making a suggestion regarding everyone commenting on the speed of your character movement (too fast, yes?).
Howz about you update your game state (ie character positions etc) with respect to time instead of frames drawn. This will mean that it will run at the same ''game speed'' on any machine, but pump out the max amount of frames that the machine can produce, making it nice and smooth looking AND completely playable on good ''puters
Just use the system clock or something, although I''m not sure exactly what sort of overhead this incurrs... shouldn''t matter with the frame rates you''re getting
Do you see what I''m getting at?
Sorry if you already thought of this (and discarded it) and think I''m daft or something
keep on truckin''

Test my engine?
Anybody got a good explanation why my framerate is so high... Some of u guys got better systems than i.
Oh well ... cant complain

I have NO IDEA why the framerate was so high, I used to have a constant 59 on my old demo, but for some reason I ran it and boom! I have an FPS rate of 170! Wierd huh?

From the looks of it you don''t seem to wait for the vertical refresh when rendering to the screen. If you wait for the refresh when you flip buffers you would get a much better frame rate comparable to the refresh rate of your monitor.

Damn, I only got 47 fps.
I got P2-300 64mb Ram
cheap trident 4mb Video card.
3dfx Voodoo 2
Is it my trident card??
I realize that the point of this post was to figure out why the demo was running so fast, but I''m kind of dissapointed it ran so slow on my system.
