Animation, FPS, and KineticJS

Question

So I have a little game of a ball moving around on the screen and I would like to calculate the FPS. I am using KineticJS (4.3.1) which utilizes requestAnimationFrame under the hood.

      var anim = new Kinetic.Animation(
          function(frame) {

            //game logic
               //move ball
               //check collisions - if collision occurs, stop animation
               //redraw 

          }
      }

The 'frame' object has a time property which can be accessed with frame.time which measures the time since the animation was first started in milliseconds.

     var timeSinceAnimationStarted = frame.time;

What would be an accurate way of measuring the FPS?

Answer 1

A simple implementation, with "frames in a 1s interval". You can smoothen it out using, say, frames in a 5s interval

// variables accessible from within function(frame)
var frameCount = 0;
var currentSecond = 0;
var frameRate = 0;

// within function(frame), called with current time on each new frame
function updateFrameRate(time) {
    var second = Math.floor(time / 1000); // ms to integer seconds
    if (second != currentSecond) {
       frameRate = frameCount;
       frameCount = 0;
       currentSecond = second;
    }
    frameCount ++;
}
