Time Guide

Table of Contents

Time in the computer world is measured by the system clock of the computer you are using and the operating system that you are running on it. How precise a time measurement you can get usually depends on the operating system.

Time in video games, as far as game programming is usually counted in loopins (or one game loop) (in Game Maker, the loopin is called a step). Functions that use time usually take time in milliseconds.
