Hello,

Is there any way to make sure that Dark PHYSICS simulation will occur at the same speed across various hardware devoid of processor speed
and GPU speed ?

Using - SYNC 60 will only make the frame rate limit to 60 frames per second. But does that grantee physics simulation at constant speed
across various hardware devoid of processor speed
and GPU speed ?

I have never used Dark Physics but I have looked through the documentation a long time ago. Look in the advanced section, I think there may be something on timing.

Does Dark dynamix take care of the timing thing automatically ?

Yes it's simple. Lol.

This is basically how I do it:

`At the top of your code:

ITERATIONS_PER_SECOND=60.0 `increase this if it seems buggy, decrease for better performance
dyn set timing 1.0/ITERATIONS_PER_SECOND, ITERATIONS_PER_SECOND, 0

`Every loop:

ELAPSED=timer()-lasttimer
lasttimer=timer()
dyn simulate ELAPSED*0.001
dyn fetch results
dyn update



(both variables are floats)

Inflictive: Thank you very much for the code example.
