This function will update the time with an elasped time of 1/60. This will cause the application speed and UPS to behave as though the application is running at exactly 60 frame per second, regardless of the real frame rate.

Syntax

• static void Step()

Remarks

Whereas Leadwerks::Time::Update will handle framerates that fall below 60 hz and interpolate between physics frames smoothly, Leadwerks::Time::Step makes the application run at a constant logical framerate. If the framerate is faster than 60 hz, this function will make a call to Time;:Delay() to slow it down. The only problem arises if the framerate falls below 60 hz. In that case, the logical frame rate will still run at a constant speed and the application will appear slower. For this reason, it is recommended the user call Leadwerks::Time::Update() in most cases instead.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

Model* model = NULL;

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])

        camera->Move(0,0,-3);
        Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();
        light->SetRotation(35,35,0);
        
        model = Model::Box();
        model->SetColor(0.0,0.0,1.0);
        
        while (true)
        {
                 if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;
    
                //Press the space key pause and resume timing
                if (window->KeyHit(Key::Space))
                {
                        paused = !paused;

                }

                context->DrawText("Millisecs: "+String(Leadwerks::Time::Millisecs()),2,22);

                context->Sync();
