Hi,
did anyone managed to dynamically increase/decrease a programs CPU usage? Example: normally I run my game with a delay(2) in my main loop. If my game-window gets inactive (minimized, other window on top or such), I could pause my game and do a delay(80) or higher in my main loop to give more time to the system.
Under Windows I would try to catch system events or maybe find an API-call that reveals the activestate of a window.
But before spending time with a windows-only solution I wonder if anyone knows a crossplatform way (using Max only code, maybe utilizing MaxGUI) to do this?
