World.frameRate

Category:Game Lab

The number of times per second the screen is refreshed.

The number of times per second the screen is refreshed is also the speed of draw() loop. frameRate is a variable that you do not need to declare. You can both read the value of frameRate and assign a new value to frameRate.

The default rate of 30 frames per second and values are limited to between 1 and 60.

Examples

Accelerate a square across the screen.

                            // Accelerate a square across the screen.
var rectX = 0;
World.frameRate=10;
fill("red");
function draw() {
  background("white");
  rectX = rectX + 1;
  if (rectX >= 40) {
    World.frameRate=World.frameRate*2;
    rectX = 0;
  }
  rect(rectX, 40, 20,20);
}
