Is there any way to display your game's fps in game? Like in a corner of the screen?

    nope sorry

    you can only check fps when running in the viewer, not in game

    I just found this http://gamesalad.com/g/52076 . I wonder how he/she has made that.

    I can't vouch for its accuracy but its done with two attributes and three behaviors:

    Timer (every 0 seconds)
    ----Change Attribute self.myCounter To: self.myCounter +1

    Timer (every 1 seconds)
    ----Change Attribute self.myFPS To: self.myCounter
    ----Change Attribute self.myCounter To: 0

    Display Text: self.myFPS

    yep like RThurman said thats how he did it. You can download that project in the new section of the gamesalad creator and check it out for yourself.
    no idea how accurate that is though.

    As far as the true fps that you see during the viewer, like i said you cant display that in game

    I downloaded the project and tested it out with an old 2Gen ipod and it was pretty accurate! (Within 2/3 fps of the viewer at any given time.) I noticed that the demo project multiplied the fps by 2 to get a more accurate count (as compared to the viewer statistics).

    Thanks a lot! I will test it soon on my 3gs.
