Is there a function option in OGL that allows you to set a constant FPS? 

If no, I know the way I would do it is an array of the last n calculation times and use them as a measurement for how much of a "buffer" time to set between each frame to be output, but I don't know the functions to get the time.

Or does anyone have code for this that they are ok with me using?

I'm planning on making a simple "don't hit the boxes" side-scrolling game and want to make it consistent for all players so there isn't an advantage to higher or lower FPS.

Cinebench R15: 636(all cores), 127FPS

Kind of wish there was a function for it in the library... Would make things so much easier...

Interested in looking at the code I did for the frame cap?
