Reading things from the console

(TheHuckleberryWill) #1

You know how the console displays things like FPS, memory usage, no. of entities…

Is there any way of getting this information in my code?

I wouldn’t rely on the console to do it, as the console only updates this information when it is visible (and you presumably don’t want to be displaying the console in a release version of your game).

If somebody else hasn’t, I’ll be able to get back to you on this in a day or two (normally I’d be able to respond faster than that but I’m incredibly busy over the next couple of days!).

Have a little look at how the Console gets these metrics in net/flashpunk/debug/Console.as; https://github.com/Draknek/FlashPunk/blob/master/net/flashpunk/debug/Console.as
