System Speed

[Guest_imported]

Does anyone know how to determine the actual system speed ? My intention ist to make my progs run at equal speed on every machine ( if achievable ) . Thanx in Advance.

you can check

to see which progs I mean

if you are talking about Qbasic, I am not really sure that is possible. Might need something a little lower level. or a least determine the kind of slowdown, and hardcode them into an option menu or something similar to that.

you can use many loop to check the speed with the timer:

REM put this a the begining of the program
CLS
TEST1 = TIMER
PRINT &quot;wait while i test the speed of your computer...&quot;;
FOR i = 1 TO 10000
NEXT
TEST2 = TIMER: slowdown = 2500 / (TEST2 - TEST1)

to adjust the speed change the 2500 to another until you have your speed and when you want to slow down a animation or a loop then you have to type:

FOR slow = 1 TO slowdown : NEXT

it should now run at equal speed on every computer.

hope it can help [sig]<p>miguel<br><a href=mailto:migoul@hotmail.com>migoul@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=

miguel, I'm sure he could do that for his own computer, but I think he want the program to automatically adjust it's own speed, on whatever computer it's on. [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href=
