Object Clock

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    
public class 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.
