Detailed Description

This module contains time related information.

Function Documentation

◆ DeltaTime()

unsigned long Gorgon::Time::DeltaTime ( )

Returns the time passed since the last frame.

This value is updated at the start of the frame.

References Gorgon::Time::internal::deltatime.

◆ FrameStart()

unsigned long Gorgon::Time::FrameStart ( )

Returns start time of the current frame in milliseconds.

This function should be used for animations and effects as it is constant throughout a frame.

References Gorgon::Time::internal::framestart.

◆ fromtm()

void Gorgon::Time::fromtm	(	Date &	ret,
		tm	timeinfo
	)

References Date::Day, Date::Hour, Date::Minute, Date::Month, Date::Second, Date::Weekday, and Date::Year.

◆ GetDate()

Date GetDate ( )

Returns the current date.

Should not be used for performance calculations, its not guaranteed to be precise.

References Date::Day, Date::Hour, Date::Millisecond, Date::Minute, Date::Month, Date::Second, Date::Timezone, Date::Weekday, and Date::Year.

◆ GetTime()

unsigned long GetTime ( )

Returns current time in milliseconds.

Warning: FrameStart should be used unless exact time is required. This function works slower and changes during a frame, which may cause synchronization issues.

◆ Initialize()

void Initialize ( )

Initializes Time module.

Initializes the filesystem module.

Gorgon system requires every module to have initialization function even if they are not used. Currently used for following tasks:

Set startup directory

There is a mechanism to ensure initialization is performed once.

References Gorgon::Time::internal::deltatime, Gorgon::Time::internal::framestart, and GetTime().

◆ operator<<() [1/2]

std::ostream& Gorgon::Time::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	out,
		const Date &	date
	)

Output stream operator overload.

References Date::ISODateTime().

◆ operator<<() [2/2]

std::ostream& Gorgon::Time::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	output,
		const Timer &	timer
	)

Allows Timer to be printed.

References Timer::Get().

◆ totm()

tm Gorgon::Time::totm ( const Date & d )
