Hey guys, I started up with dbpro again and I am making a small test engine for fun. I want to show the fps, but I have in a loop, and so it won't clog the screen and endlessly make itself I have a cls command so it only shows one instance. The problem with that is it clears off the screen. I would like to see the fps without this "problem", any help would be appreciated.
here is the code

what you could do is make some 3d obejcts and poitn the camera at them, so you can use set cursor pos 0,0 instead of cls, so you print over the old text. and about the fps=0, thats because you wait 2 seconds. if you would wait 1000, or 500, you would get a higher fps cause i don't think you can get lower than 1. if you want to see, do sleep 500 instead of 1000, you'll see the fps jumps to 1
