This takes into account the time spent updating and drawing each frame.
function love.load()
min_dt = 1/30
next_time = love.timer.getMicroTime()
end
function love.update(dt)
next_time = next_time + min_dt
--rest of function here
end
function love.draw()
--rest of function here
local cur_time = love.timer.getMicroTime()
if next_time <= cur_time then
next_time = cur_time
return
end
love.timer.sleep(1000*(next_time - cur_time))
end
