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.
