Game Timer In C++
- by user1870398
I need to be able to find out how many milliseconds since that last update. Is there any way I can find it out with time rather then a thread that counts like I did below?
#include <iostream>
#include<windows.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<process.h>
using namespace std;
int Timer = 0;
int LastTimer = 0;
bool End = false;
void Update(int Ticks)
{
}
void UpdateTimer()
{
while (true)
{
LastTimer = Timer;
Timer++;
Sleep(1);
if (End)
break;
}
}
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE par1, HINSTANCE par2, LPSTR par3, int par4)
{
_beginthread(UpdateTimer, 0, NULL);
while(true)
{
if (Timer == 1000)
Timer = 0;
Update(Timer - LastTimer);
}
}
