Time for action – hide statistics and FPS

Every SimpleApplication displays the current frames per second (FPS) and some mesh statistics, in the bottom-left corner. Before releasing your game, you should hide these displays as follows:

  1. Make a copy of Main.java and name the class HideStatistics.java. Remember to also refactor the first line of the main() method to HideStatistics app = new HideStatistics();.
  2. In simpleInitApp(), call the following method to hide the FPS value:
    setDisplayFps(false);
  3. In simpleInitApp(), call the following method to hide the debug statistics:
    setDisplayStatView(false);

Run the application with either of the application settings, and note the difference.
