coordinates refreshing

[saume]

ok, so im still trying some really basic stuff, but before i actually start anything big, i wonder, how many frames per second i should use for a game (like refreshing coordinates and such things)

ive read (dont ask me where LOL i dont remember) that games could range from 24 to 40+ frames per second (would be too much going above that, if say it was an online game?)

any help is appreciated

I am not familiar with game programming, so I dont know a good frame-range and whatever.
But the human eye needs at least 24 (anyone correct me, if I am wrong) frames per second to see a smooth movement. So I think you should try to finish all calculations for a frame in less than 1/24 seconds.

Generally around 30-60 is what I see.
