Welcome to episode 7 of our Super Mario game in java tutorial! In this episode, we will be creating a frames per second and an updates/ticks per second timer.

Next video will be a gaming video (most likely happy wheels).
Stay tuned for more! š

Your videos are amazing! However, I may like to ask why did you use those variables when you were creating the timer. I do not understand it very well and I would like to learn how did you create it properly. Thanks in advance!
can anyone explain how that algorithm works lol it's like the one thing he doesn't really explain
Apparently you are not a bad programmer, but you don't explain anything about this time, delta, frames and updates and what it actually does… Looks like you learned this from someone but don't really understand what it is you're doing.
This guy is a genius
Hi. I'm having an extremely odd issue. My code will run once, then stops. My code is exactly like yours, so I don't understand the issue.
EDIT:
Sometimes it runs properly though. That's what really confuses me.
Hi, if i run my application the tick method runs in the first second 60 times(60 updates per second) but after the first second it only runs at 6 updates per second!

ChernoPyoject.
you've got some real skill bud, i'm impressed.
i do think though that maybe you're targeting the wrong audience! explaining what 'double' is, but not mentioning why delta+=(now-lastTime)/ns;
XD
have you got any advice on where to learn the logic or reasoning behind the loops and variables? would really help!
thanks,
I dont get it, it confuses my head so much!
what do you mean by nano Time GETS THE CURRENT TIME current time of what. it doesnt make any sense. can you please explain to me
why am i getting so many FPS? 23111165 FPS & 60 Updates PS. Here is code

}

Is the intro music from Asphalt 8 : Airborne ?
if(guessedCorrect)
Me.out.say("YAY!!);
else
Me.out.say("WHADDAHELLISITFROM???");
My console won't print anything out. I double checked the code and its typed exactly like yours. Anyone know how to fix this?
Honestly, your run method is very complicated and very hard to follow.
very nice tutorials im impressed, i like your style of making these š
I get timer cannot be resolved or is not a field. What does this mean?!? >.< I get it in if(System.currentTimeMillis().timer > 1000)
