#

every

#

every frame

Triggers puzzles placed inside the "do" slot every rendering frame (normally at the rate of 60 frames per second).

#

elapsed delta

Outputs the amount of time (in seconds) passed from the previous rendering frame. Can be used with the "every frame" puzzle to implement frame-independent animation.

#

#

remove timer

#

system date / time
