The Game Loop
This tutorial dissects the heart of every game: the game loop. A design that allows for unbounded frames per second while maintaining numerical stability is implemented.
Game Loop
The central component of any game, from a programming standpoint, is the game loop. The game loop allows the game to run smoothly regardless of a user's input or lack thereof.
Keeping Track of Time
As in reality, keeping track of time is important for games. After discussing a theoretical game loop, this tutorial implements a high-precision timer based on the native Windows QueryPerformanceCounter function.
A real-world Windows application
This tutorial teaches how to define and create a window in Windows. Additionally a robust real-time game loop and window procedure are explained in detail.
