speed check

Post by Luke100000 »

Here is v2 of speed-test: speed check.
I fixed a lot of bugs and now speed check has a new design and a better perfomance. (and it finally works!)

An example of using:

Code: Select all

require("speedtest")
function love.load()
    speed.load() --load speed check AFTER set the window-size!
end
function love.update()
    speed:start("example")
    local text = ""
    for i=1,1000 do
        text = text.."something "
    end
    speed:stop("example")
end
function love.draw()
    speed.draw() --draw the results
end
Now you can see the deltatime, the average time, the full time, the amount of checks and the percent of all pieces of code.

more examples: (don't forget require, speed.load() and speed.draw())

Code: Select all

function love.keypressed(key)
    if key==" " then
        speed.start("example")
        love.timer.sleep(0.01) --here is something to check, for example sleeping for 10 ms
        speed.stop("example")
    end
end
or

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    speed.start("example")
    love.graphics.newImage("image.png") --how much time it will need to load?
    speed.stop("example")
end
Maybe it can helps you for searching parts in your game/code witch are slow.

Speed check has a diagram were you can see the max deltatime in ms of 1 second and two lines, one the limit for 60FPS and one for 24FPS.

Yes I now, it is named "speedtest", but now its speed check

Do you really need a library for something like this? Isn't it just two lines of code anyway?

I hope I don't sound too negative, I'm not saying that your library is bad in any way, I just question its necessity.

T-Bone: Yes, You can use these two lines, but in my speed-test you can see the % off all and etc. in a clear list. Soon I will show a sreenshot while I'm pressing the key.

It would be incredibly hard, but you could ask for a task, parse it, then compare the time the tasks take.
