sio2CameraMove not smooth

in sio2CameraMove function :
float tmp = _dir * ( _SIO2camera->speed * sio2->_SIO2window->d_time );

why the speed need the sio2->_SIO2window->d_time ? this will cause the movement not smooth.

for example : if the current fps is 50 , it will move the camera ahead 10 at 1 sec.
but , if the fps drop down to 10 , the camera also move ahead 10 at 1 sec. this will give the player a not smooth feeling.

On the opposite it WILL smooth it... the speed is multiplied by the delta time...

1.0 = 1 sec

Like that is always going to be constant

the number is constant , but the movement feeling is not smooth.

Creating frame rate independent movement isn't too hard.
I think this is what you are looking for or thinking of sw.

I see... so what needs to be modified to achieve that? cuz honestly Im not quite sure what is missing here...

Sorry, I remember as I went through the tutorials I saw something which wasn't frame rate independent and I thought sw was asking about it. I see now sio2CameraMove is fine. It was sio2CameraRotateZ and it looks like sio2CameraRotateX are not frame rate independent. Or I suppose, if those functions are only supposed to be setters then the use of them isn't frame rate independent.

Yeah the camera rotation is the tutorial is affected by the movement so...

the "frame rate independent movement " is NOT a good idea for Camera , because the moving distance is a variational number for very frame, from camera the player will feel the world's movement speed jumps up and down.

I am working on a race game of car, the game FPS from 30 to 50, the "frame rate independent movement " is not suit camera , it just suit for other object, such as bullet , other car....

especially moving with high speed.
