Fixed-Timestep Physics with Render Interpolation in LÖVE
Step LÖVE physics with a constant timestep using an accumulator loop, clamp catch-up to avoid the spiral of death, and interpolate transforms at draw time for smooth rendering at any refresh rate.
MonoGame Timestep Control: Fixed vs Variable and the Accumulator Pattern
MonoGame's default fixed timestep can cap your update rate, while a variable timestep introduces non-determinism. A time accumulator lets you lock updates at 60 FPS and render smoothly at any frame rate.
