Provides extension methods for the IGame interface, enhancing game management and performance tuning functionality.

public static class GameExtensions

Inheritance

object

GameExtensions

Remarks

These methods offer additional control over the game's timing, frame rate, and vertical synchronization, allowing for both performance optimization and flexibility.

Methods

DeltaTime(IGame)

Gets the time elapsed since the last game update in seconds as a single-precision floating-point number.

public static float DeltaTime(this IGame gameTime)

Parameters

gameTime IGame

The IGame interface providing access to game timing information.

Returns

float

The time elapsed since the last game update in seconds.

DeltaTimeAccurate(IGame)

Gets the time elapsed since the last game update in seconds as a double-precision floating-point number.

public static double DeltaTimeAccurate(this IGame gameTime)

Parameters

gameTime IGame

The IGame interface providing access to game timing information.

Returns

double

The time elapsed since the last game update in seconds with double precision.

DisableVSync(IGame)

Disables vertical synchronization (VSync) to allow for uncapped frame rates, potentially increasing performance at the cost of possible screen tearing.

public static void DisableVSync(this IGame game)

Parameters

game IGame

The IGame instance on which to disable VSync.

EnableVSync(IGame)

Enables vertical synchronization (VSync) to prevent screen tearing by synchronizing the frame rate with the display's refresh rate.

public static void EnableVSync(this IGame game)

Parameters

game IGame

The IGame instance on which to enable VSync.

FPS(IGame)

Retrieves the current frames per second (FPS) rate of the running game.

public static float FPS(this IGame game)

Parameters

game IGame

The IGame instance from which to obtain the FPS rate.

Returns

float

The current FPS rate of the game.

SetFocusLostFPS(IGame, int)

Sets the maximum frames per second (FPS) rate for the game when not in focus. Set targetFPS to 0 for uncapped FPS.

public static void SetFocusLostFPS(this IGame game, int targetFPS)

Parameters

game IGame

The IGame instance on which to set the FPS limit.

targetFPS int

The target FPS rate. Set to 0 for uncapped FPS.

SetMaxFPS(IGame, int)

Sets the maximum frames per second (FPS) rate for the game. Set targetFPS to 0 for uncapped FPS.

public static void SetMaxFPS(this IGame game, int targetFPS)

Parameters

game IGame

The IGame instance on which to set the FPS limit.

targetFPS int

The target FPS rate. Set to 0 for uncapped FPS.
