fpsSampler: FpsSampler

Methods

publicelapsed

  • elapsed(): number

  • Get the elapsed time for the last completed frame

    Returns number

publicisRunning

  • isRunning(): boolean

  • Returns if the clock is currently running

    Returns boolean

publicnow

  • now(): number

  • Get the current time in milliseconds

    Returns number

publicschedule

  • schedule(cb: (elapsedMs: number) => any, timeoutMs?: number): void

  • Schedule a callback to fire given a timeout in milliseconds using the excalibur [[Clock]]

    This is useful to use over the built in browser setTimeout because callbacks will be tied to the excalibur update clock, instead of browser time, this means that callbacks wont fire if the game is stopped or paused.

    Parameters

    • cb: (elapsedMs: number) => any

      callback to fire

    • timeoutMs: number = 0

      Optionally specify a timeout in milliseconds from now, default is 0ms which means the next possible tick

    Returns void

publicsetFatalExceptionHandler

  • setFatalExceptionHandler(handler: (e: unknown) => any): void

  • Parameters

    • handler: (e: unknown) => any

    Returns void

publicstart

  • start(): void

  • Start the clock, it will then periodically call the tick(elapsedMilliseconds) since the last tick

    Returns void

publicstop

  • stop(): void

  • Stop the clock, tick() is no longer called

    Returns void

publictoStandardClock

publictoTestClock

  • Returns TestClock
