Forum ‹ C# ‹ Schedueling callbacks

As I'm working on my next game I am trying to be very conscious of the time limit. The question I have is, when I use:

Code: Select all

ScheduleCallback(delegate() {
}, 50);

Does that affect the current method call? I'm imagining the callbacks get queued, but what kind of guarantees does that give me? I just want to make sure I don't use too much CPU either.

Each call to the callback gives you a new 100ms cputimer, so it doesn't add up or anything.

How do you limit my process? Do I just get a limited number of threads that handle those callbacks?

Thanks

The reason I was asking about the limit was because it seems like it can easily get out of hand if I'm just allowed to schedule a bunch of callbacks.

I've since changed my code a bit and am not scheduling as much as I was planning to before, so it shouldn't be an issue for me.

We don´t limit your game to any number of threads -- The 100ms limit is there in order to be able for us to easier distribute load among machines and not have code going into infinite loops etc.

OK Thanks!
