Clock
object Clock
A simple class for timing of animations and things. Literally a delta function.
PolyUI internally uses nanoseconds as the time unit. There are a few reasons for this:
animations will be smoother as frames are usually shorter than 1ms, around 0.007ms. This means that the delta will be a decimal, which is not possible with longs, so some accuracy is lost with milliseconds.
Clock,getTime (the function we use to measure time) ignores changes to the system clock, so if the user changes their clock PolyUI won't crash or go very crazy because of a negative time.
9,223,372,036,854,775,808 is max for a long, so the program can run for 2,562,047.78802 hours, or 106,751.991167 days, or 292.471 years. So we can use these.
