Clock

Object for keeping track of time. This uses performance.now if it is available, otherwise it reverts to the less accurate Date.now.

Constructor

Clock(autoStart : Boolean)

autoStart — (optional) whether to automatically start the clock when .getDelta() is called for the first time. Default is true.

Properties

# .autoStart : Boolean

If set, starts the clock automatically when .getDelta() is called for the first time. Default is true.

# .startTime : Float

Holds the time at which the clock's start method was last called. Default is 0.

# .oldTime : Float

Holds the time at which the clock's start, .getElapsedTime() or .getDelta() methods were last called. Default is 0.

# .elapsedTime : Float

Keeps track of the total time that the clock has been running. Default is 0.

# .running : Boolean

Whether the clock is running or not. Default is false.

Methods

# .start()

Starts clock. Also sets the .startTime and .oldTime to the current time, sets .elapsedTime to 0 and .running to true.

# .stop()

Stops clock and sets oldTime to the current time.

# .getElapsedTime() → Float

Get the seconds passed since the clock started and sets .oldTime to the current time.
If .autoStart is true and the clock is not running, also starts the clock.

# .getDelta() → Float

Get the seconds passed since the time .oldTime was set and sets .oldTime to the current time.
If .autoStart is true and the clock is not running, also starts the clock.
