Take a look at the allegro demo game, or to be more specific...
This code should be easy enough to figure out. Just be sure to lock. The first
bit of code can go strait in and the second bit must be adjusted to your code.
Whenever you want to display FPS itoa, sprintf, or textprintf it to the screen.


volatile int fps_proc;
volatile int fps;

void fps_ticker()
{
    fps = fps_proc;
    fps_proc = 0; // reset FPS so it doesn't keep getting bigger
}

END_OF_FUNCTION(fps_ticker)

// in your main code:

int game_process()
{
    while (1)
    {
        if (do_game_data())
            return 1;
        if (draw_a_frame())
            return 0;
        fps_proc++;
    }
    return -1;
}
