INTRO
At the games development if you paint animations at the screen or you are scrolling the scene, you want it to look smooth. To do that you need paint certain amount of pictures at the screen per second. This is called Frames per Second (FPS).
When you have a PC/Mac game you usually have to buy better hardware or decrease detail quality to raise the FPS to level that it will be nice.
