Game loop runs slower on another computer

[TeodorDyakov]

Hello. I have recently made a game with Ebiten. The game was made on my Ubuntu workstation. When I run the game it runs smoothly and fast(the machine has i3 10th gen CPU and runs Ubuntu). I cross compiled the game for my other laptop (Windows 10, i7 CPU), and tried running the game on it. Unfortunately The game appeared noticeably slower. The animation of a falling object takes roughly two times more. I wonder if this problem is with cross compilation or just that my other latpopt CPU is too slow?

Hi,

Perhaps did you write your game logic in Draw instead of Update? Draw's frequency depends on environment, especially your display's refresh rate.

Yeah, it could be a few things - it would be worth it to post your code if possible. It could be something related to the rendering; perhaps it could even be a Vsync-related issue.

The code is pretty long https://github.com/TeodorDyakov/spooky-connect4/blob/main/client/graphics/guiGame.go
Generally I have only calls to draw text or images in the draw function.

I see now that I update the coordinates of the falling marbles in the draw function. Perhpas thats the problem.
