How would I go about sleeping the same way in C++ as I would in DM?
The command would be nice :). Thanks.

Take a look at this

And, before you go wondering why using Windows' Sleep function doesn't work for you, remember that it is measured in milliseconds, not deciseconds like it is in Byond.

Actually, BYOND's sleep is measured in Ticks, not deciseconds, even though, in general, 1 tick = 1 decisecond, but that varys with CPU usage. It is not a good idea to assume that it is accurate to any real time though, that could create major problems when timing is key (Very rarely).

Under stressful situations, I have clocked the WinAPI's Sleep function to be off by a bit. I don't remember how far off though, and it probably wasn't enough to care about. But still, I used to be a stickler for precision, and so at that time I made my own sleep function which would sleep for N-5 milliseconds, and then use the performance counter to measure off the rest, hanging on an empty while loop until the exact moment came; so it was much more accurate, though no person would ever have known the difference. Yeah, I know, I used to be a silly person. | |
