advancedTiming : boolean

If true then advanced profiling, including the fps rate, fps min/max, suggestedFps and msMin/msMax are updated. This isn't expensive, but displaying it with Phaser.Utils.Debug#text can be, especially in WebGL mode.

Type:

• boolean

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 173

desiredFps : integer

The number of logic updates per second.

This is used is used to calculate the physic / logic multiplier and how to apply catch-up logic updates.

The render rate is unaffected unless you also turn off Phaser.Game#forceSingleRender.

Type:

• integer

Default Value:

• 60

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 691

<protected> desiredFpsMult : integer

The desiredFps multiplier as used by Game.update.

Type:

• integer

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 129

<protected> elapsed : number

Elapsed time since the last time update, in milliseconds, based on now.

This value may include time that the game is paused/inactive.

While the game is active, this will be similar to (1000 / fps).

Note: This is updated only once per game loop - even if multiple logic update steps are done. Use physicsTime as a basis of game/logic calculations instead.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 89

See:

• Phaser.Time.time

<protected> elapsedMS : integer

The time in ms since the last time update, in milliseconds, based on time.

This value is corrected for game pauses and will be "about zero" after a game is resumed.

Note: This is updated once per game loop - even if multiple logic update steps are done. Use physicsTime as a basis of game/logic calculations instead.

Type:

• integer

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 102

events : Phaser.Timer

A Phaser.Timer object bound to the master clock (this Time object) which events can be added to.

Type:

• Phaser.Timer

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 289

<readonly> fps : number

Advanced timing result: Frames per second.

Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 209

fpsMax : number

Advanced timing result: The highest rate the fps has reached (usually no higher than 60fps).

Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled. This value can be manually reset.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 245

fpsMin : number

Advanced timing result: The lowest rate the fps has dropped to.

Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled. This value can be manually reset.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 236

<readonly> frames : integer

Advanced timing result: The number of animation frames received from the browser in the last second.

Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled.

Type:

• integer

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 182

<protected> game : Phaser.Game

Local reference to game.

Type:

• Phaser.Game

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 45

msMax : number

Advanced timing result: The maximum amount of time the game has taken between consecutive frames.

Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled. This value can be manually reset.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 264

msMin : number

Advanced timing result: The minimum amount of time the game has taken between consecutive frames.

Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled. This value can be manually reset.

Type:

• number

Default Value:

• 1000

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 255

<protected> now : number

An increasing value representing cumulative milliseconds since an undisclosed epoch.

While this value is in milliseconds and can be used to compute time deltas, it must must not be used with Date.now() as it may not use the same epoch / starting reference.

The source may either be from a high-res source (eg. if RAF is available) or the standard Date.now; the value can only be relied upon within a particular game instance.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 73

pauseDuration : number

Records how long the game was last paused, in milliseconds. (This is not updated until the game is resumed.)

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 271

physicsElapsed : number

The physics update delta, in fractional seconds.

This should be used as an applicable multiplier by all logic update steps (eg. preUpdate/postUpdate/update) to ensure consistent game timing. Game/logic timing can drift from real-world time if the system is unable to consistently maintain the desired FPS.

With fixed-step updates this is normally equivalent to 1.0 / desiredFps.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 115

physicsElapsedMS : number

The physics update delta, in milliseconds - equivalent to physicsElapsed * 1000.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 122

<protected> prevTime : number

The now when the previous update occurred.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 59

<readonly> renders : integer

Advanced timing result: The number of renders made in the last second.

Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled.

Type:

• integer

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 200

<readonly> rps : number

Advanced timing result: Renders per second.

Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 227

slowMotion : number

Scaling factor to make the game move smoothly in slow motion (or fast motion)

• 1.0 = normal speed
• 2.0 = half speed
• 0.5 = double speed

You likely need to adjust desiredFps as well such that desiredFps / slowMotion === 60.

Type:

• number

Default Value:

• 1

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 166

suggestedFps : number

The suggested frame rate for your game, based on an averaged real frame rate. This value is only populated if Time.advancedTiming is enabled.

Note: This is not available until after a few frames have passed; until then it's set to the same value as desiredFps.

Type:

• number

Source:

src/time/Time.js line 152
