How would one retrieve the frame rate in code? I’m making a function which shows stats about the game—graphics, performance, etc.—but I know not how to retrieve the frame rate. How would I do this?

There’s a built in way to do so, but I’m not sure how you can replicate that in makecode.
If your curious, go to the pause menu and enable “show stats”.

Ok, this really depends on if you’re using blocks or JavaScript. You’ll need someone to make an extension for you in blocks, or you’ll need a few grey blocks. I found the code that sets the fps in the fps counter thingy:
It’s in Explorer → base → eventcontext.ts lines 76 - 107. It puts the fps into this variable,
control.EventContext.lastStats, which is a string. You could get this value by doing something like parseInt(control.EventContext.lastStats.substr(4)) which just strips off the “fps:” part and then converts it to a number. If you’re making a display, you can probably just keep it as a string if you wanted to.
