Function Documentation

AdvanceTime()

void AdvanceTime

(

double

seconds

)

Advances time. Used when TimeFactor is set to 0. Ignored otherwise.

Parameters

seconds

Number of seconds to advance.

GetTime()

double GetTime

(

)

Returns

the number of seconds elapsed since the program started.

SetTimeFactor()

void SetTimeFactor

(

double

factor

)

Changes the flow of time.

Parameters

factor

Has the following meanings: 0 = time advances only with AdvanceTime 1 = normal time >0 = normal time, but scaled by the given factor (i.e. 2 = time goes twice as fast as realtime)

SleepFor()

void SleepFor

(

double

seconds

)

Puts this thread into sleep for given time. If timefactor=0, another thread must call AdvanceTime in order for this thread to wake.

Parameters

seconds

Time to sleep for, in seconds

TimeTerminate()

void TimeTerminate

(

)

Terminates any background process/thread started by the clock module.
