<static> fps :Number

Last measured fps rate.
This feature is disabled by default. Load and enable the DebugPanel plugin to use it.

Type:

• Number

Source:

timer.js, line 89

<static> lastUpdate :Date

Last update time.
Use this value to implement frame prediction in drawing events, for creating smooth motion while running game update logic at a lower fps.

Type:

• Date

Source:

timer.js, line 100

<static> tick :Number

Last game tick value.
Use this value to scale velocities during frame drops due to slow hardware or when setting an FPS limit. (See me.sys.fps) This feature is disabled by default. Enable me.sys.interpolation to use it.

Type:

• Number

Source:

timer.js, line 75

See:

• me.sys.interpolation

Number

<static> setInterval(fn, delay, pauseable) → {Number}

Calls a function at specified interval.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
fn	function			the function to execute

pauseable	Boolean	<optional>	true	respects the pause state of the engine.

Source:

timer.js, line 160

Returns:

The numerical ID of the timeout, which can be used later with me.timer.clearInterval().

Type

Number

<static> setTimeout(fn, delay, pauseable) → {Number}

Calls a function once after a specified delay.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
fn	function			the function you want to execute after delay milliseconds.
