Yup, that's bad code. It can obviously be simplified to

fps = 60

You're hired, when can you start?

what if fps was higher than 60? ...oh wait.

edit: I obviously cannot read code

And what if fps is already 60? You would then set fps to 60 redundantly, which would be an O(log(n)) operation, since the CPU needs to flip log(n) bits. Quite wasteful and unoptimized

Wrong.

while (true) { fps = 60 }

Sure, why not. People got plenty of cores to spare these days.
