maintaining desired framerate?

[CR4SH3D]

How do you maintain a constant framerate? im using the timers lib for a couple of simple timers but the framerate keep fluctuating visibly atleast, i tried adding timer.sleep(10) and it didnt really do much

There is not much you can do about that. Other processes use your CPU as well, and their use differs. You can't count on the framerate to be constant. If you want your game to be independent of framerate (which you most certainly will), you can use dt, as you probably know.

Really, just optimize your code as much as you can. You can never be too optimized.

You can never be too optimized.

Mr Knuth does not agree.

Adding love.timer.sleep(10) somewhere should help, though. Did you add it somewhere in the call chain of update()?

I do though. I've sped up my game a bit by taking a step back and looking at what can be fixed up to make it squeeze out a few more FPS.
