Thread: Ogre + Wii controller delay problem

Here's a must read on the subject: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/1 ... veness.php

Thanks a lot for the nice article. I see now, the an gameloop is an complex process. I have reconsidered the concept of the gameloop and removed the FrameListener. I build an own while loop and and told in which I say: Inputs, gamelogic, etc. needs to be updated only 25 times per second. The Physicsengine, to run stable, needs to be updated constantly by 60 fps, and the scenerendering needs ...

Do you consider the time since the last frame in your movement? E.g. When your application run at 100fps, your movement must be only 1/100 of the length that you would use when your app would run with 1 fps. The best is to use the time since the last frame. Take a look at the Intermediat Tuturial 1, there you have an example

Just as a quick explanation why it lagged: The WiiMote must be pulled with 100fps. Otherwise it will store the data in a queue. That's why you got lags if your FPS went below 100.

Do you consider the time since the last frame in your movement? Yes, but It's complicated. I'm updating the the game 60 times per second and the graphics with no limit. When I caluculate the timeSinceLastFrame (1/60) and move the character then the game is bucking a little bit. I don't know how to smooth the timeSinceLastFrame factor. Just as a quick explanation why it lagged: Thanks I ...

The WiiMote must be pulled with 100fps. Otherwise it will store the data in a queue. That's why you got lags if your FPS went below 100. You were right. When I updated the poll() function with only 25fps only the controller worked, when I increased the updaterate to 100fps both worked, the controller and the nunchuk. But the new problem is: when vsync is on, then the delay is back. I'm ...

Multithreading Your FPS is capped at 60 FPS (VSYNC on an TFT) but you can pull the info from the wiimote still 100 times per second if you use a own thread

Wow thanks, thats an great idea, I'll try it soon.

Thank you very much FragCool for the good idea. I builded a thread and run the poll() function parallel to the gameloop with 100fps. When I set vysnc on. The game is updated with 60fps and there is no delay in the wii-inputs, therefore it seems to work!
