Detailed Description

Interface for getting and manipulating the virtual time.

Member Function Documentation

getRealTime()

virtual u32 nirt::ITimer::getRealTime ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns current real time in milliseconds of the system.

This value does not start with 0 when the application starts. For example in one implementation the value returned could be the amount of milliseconds which have elapsed since the system was started.

getSpeed()

virtual f32 nirt::ITimer::getSpeed ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns current speed of the timer.

The speed is the factor with which the time is running faster or slower then the real system time.

getTime()

virtual u32 nirt::ITimer::getTime ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns current virtual time in milliseconds.

This value starts with 0 and can be manipulated using setTime(), stopTimer(), startTimer(), etc. This value depends on the set speed of the timer if the timer is stopped, etc. If you need the system time, use getRealTime()

setSpeed()

virtual void nirt::ITimer::setSpeed ( f32  speed = 1.0f )

pure virtual

Sets the speed of the timer.

The speed is the factor with which the time is running faster or slower then the real system time.

start()

virtual void nirt::ITimer::start ( )

pure virtual

Starts the virtual timer.

The timer is reference counted, which means everything which calls stop() will also have to call start(), otherwise the timer may not start/stop correctly again.

stop()

virtual void nirt::ITimer::stop ( )

pure virtual

Stops the virtual timer.

The timer is reference counted, which means everything which calls stop() will also have to call start(), otherwise the timer may not start/stop correctly again.

tick()

virtual void nirt::ITimer::tick ( )

pure virtual

Advances the virtual time.

Makes the virtual timer update the time value based on the real time. This is called automatically when calling NirtcppDevice::run(), but you can call it manually if you don't use this method.
