Time Class Reference

The Time class provides static utility functions and variables to manage frame timing, delta time computation, frame rate regulation, and tracking the elapsed game time. It is designed to be a singleton-style class with only static members and no instances. More...

Static Public Member Functions
static unsigned int	ComputeDeltaTime ()
	Computes the time elapsed since the last frame (delta time), clamps it to a maximum to prevent instability, and stores it in deltaTime.
static void	DelayTime ()
	Delays the frame if it finished too early, in order to maintain a consistent frame rate defined by FPS.
static float	GetGameTime ()
	Returns the total time elapsed since the game started.

Static Public Attributes
static float	deltaTime = 0
	Delta time (in seconds) between the current and previous frame.

Detailed Description

The Time class provides static utility functions and variables to manage frame timing, delta time computation, frame rate regulation, and tracking the elapsed game time. It is designed to be a singleton-style class with only static members and no instances.

Member Function Documentation

ComputeDeltaTime()

unsigned int Time::ComputeDeltaTime ( )

static

Computes the time elapsed since the last frame (delta time), clamps it to a maximum to prevent instability, and stores it in deltaTime.

Returns

Delta time in milliseconds (clamped to MAX_DT).

DelayTime()

void Time::DelayTime ( )

static

Delays the frame if it finished too early, in order to maintain a consistent frame rate defined by FPS.

GetGameTime()

float Time::GetGameTime ( )

static

Returns the total time elapsed since the game started.

Returns

Elapsed game time in seconds.

operator=()

Time & Time::operator= ( const Time & )

delete

Member Data Documentation

deltaTime

float Time::deltaTime = 0

static
