Timing#

This is a class which returns time-related information. Note: This does not help "track" time, it only returns static information, such as the current time, time elapsed, the time elapsed since last invocation etc.

API Reference#

Functions	Description
`static Timing.elapsed(): double`	Returns the running time of the game in seconds. It is constantly increasing, even when the game is paused.
`static Timing.delta(): double`	The time difference between the current `render` call and the previous one. This can be used, for example, to calculate the angle by which the wheel have turned during the elapsed time.
`static Timing.currentTimeMillis(): long`	Returns the current time in millisecond (Since 1970/1/1). This is the same as Java's System.currentTimeMillis()
`static Timing.nanoTime(): long`	This is the same as Java's System.nanoTime()

Example#

function render(ctx, state, eyecandy) {
    let floatingAnimationShiftY = Math.sin(Timing.elapsed()); // Sine-wave animation
    // ...
}
