Anyone have a "Turbo Mode" detector?

I'm working on a project which will REQUIRE turbo mode in the new flash player.  Does anyone have a reliable script that can detect that turbo mode is running?

Re: Anyone have a "Turbo Mode" detector?

Just put a notice at the beginning of the project about Turbo-Speed instead of completely restricting it  hmm

Well, I guess you could get the project to do something like add 1 to a variable 1000 times - if it takes too long, it isn't in Turbo-Speed  tongue

Re: Anyone have a "Turbo Mode" detector?

You would have to make a frame rate counter and assume high frame rate is turbo mode.


My speed tester might give you an idea on how to test for turbo mode.

Notice how turbo gives a score above 5 and non turbo is lower.

Re: Anyone have a "Turbo Mode" detector?

Thanks for the input guys.

So, which blocks, specifically, run a lot slower in normal mode than in turbo mode?

Re: Anyone have a "Turbo Mode" detector?

I'd try wait (0)... I know it causes normal scratch to skip on to the next 'thread'.
Or just an empty repeat 10 or something - loop ends also cause skips/waits in normal mode I think.

If you don't want to reset the timer set a variable to the timer value and check to see how much it has increased.

This is great. You might want to create a wiki article about it  smile

Thank you! I have been needing Turbo Mode detection for a while. And how did you come up with that script?

Shouldn't it be, like, a section of the Turbo Mode article (or whatever it's called)?

Yawn.

You have an account. Say so on the talk page so we can have a civilized Wiki discussion.  tongue

It won't work for all, because on Flash Turbo it goes above 0.1

Come on, try Broadcastic OS 2.0. It has 3 editions for businesses, media, and home. Also, there's Broadcastic OS Metro Edition Release Candidate.

In turbo mode, the fps rate for a few projects I've tried out had been set to infinite

Yes! i do! it actually though, doesn't work twice in a row, so i made it automatically give an error, but you fix it by refreshing the page, it  senses java, flash, turbo mode flash, and if downloaded! here it is! http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/SFollis/2613149

You're a little late. He got the detector and finished it about a year ago.
