#306 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Extend Clock class

Description

The Clock? class is used to precisely measure time by means of the operation system internal timer. When GameStates are ticked, they get a reference to a Clock object. But this may not be the only usage. Every Level needs to have a Clock that can be paused and resumed.
That implies some changes in Clock: You have to be able to tick it from outside. I therefore suggest putting the current contents of Clock to a new RealTimeClock (or a suitable name) class and rewriting Clock so that it gets ticked with a RealTimeClock object (which supports getDeltaTime()).
Feel free to examine the Clock class and its usage and then decide what is the best concept for us. The text above is only a suggestion. But clearly, this topic has to be dealt with soon.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

Revised: Use the Scene class to accumulate time. This would require reorganising it a bit to tick it's content (instead of GSRoot). The clock class should stay.

Since the ticket then seems almost insignificant, I close it.
