Speed (not just FPS)

    What about making differend simulation speed?

    I even know how to code:
    1X speed=1X simulation+1X drawing
    2X speed=2X simulation+1X drawing
    3X speed=3X simulation+1X drawing
    ...
    nX speed=nX simulation+1X drawing

    Then code it!
    You'll find it doesn't work because you're just missing frames out, the simulation will still run at max speed,

    emm, i thought the low speed is because of lonnnng drawing!

    The last time I timed it on a moderately complex save, simulation of each frame took about 4-5 times longer than drawing it. So yeah, skipping drawing wouldn't help very much.

    Umm ;-(

    game would use 5x more processor power if sim speed will be 5

    Thank you for stating the insanely obvious. >:U
