It's ironic, there's a thread going on this very topic! You can do one of two things to make your compiled code run as fast as it did in the editor:
1) Find the Setup.ini file that's in the same folder as your DB.exe, and copy it into the folder with your Pong exe. Open this copy of the Setup.ini file in Notepad, and check that the setting for "BlitflipMode" reads as:
That should give you the high fps in the standalone exe. If this fails, try method two:
2) This is more complex - you need to check how your graphics card is set up. Check the windows control panel, under display. There should be a settings option and maybe an advanced button. There should be a series of tabs or buttons depending on the graphics card. Somewhere around there, there will be a setting for VSync, or Vertical sync. On my computer there are three settings - "Let the application decide", "Force On" and "Force off". If you set it to "Force Off", the compiled DB exe ought run at the high frame rate found in the editor.
If neither of these work, and you still get an fps hovering around 60fps in a compiled exe, let me know. I have another trick up my sleeve, but I'd like to see if this works out...
