    • programming:algo:timing - [Counting time]
      In games things sometimes need to happen regularly but at set times. These times are often specified in seconds - “Player is invulnerable for 10 seconds”. If we assume the game ticks along at a specific frame rate, that can be used to time things. For example if we count the number of frames that have passed and we know the game runs at 60 fps then each fram […]
