- Updated `readOnly` doclet to `readonly`
- `array` refined to `type[]`, where such information was immediately
determinable.
- Updated {Any}/{*} to {any}; {...*} is standard exception
- Udated {Object} to {object}
- Removed `Time.pausedTime`
Time.pausedTime has not been used / updated since
b255fea85f in Feb 2014.
There might be a case to re-explore how pause time is
reported/observable, possibly with a distinction of 'current' and 'last'
and the semantics of such. For instance, pause duration is only updated
after the resume occurs and reflects the duration-of-the-last-pause..
- Removed `Time` _i and _len properties These are better suited by local
variables.
- General documentation updates.
- Marked several methods such as `Timer.order` as protected - there are
advanced use-cases for them, but different user-facing methods and
documentations are likely in order. Also marked `Timer.sortHandler` as
private; but did not change any interfaces.
- Removed previous elapsed/elapsedMS deprecation as they act differently
when the game has been resumed, assuming that it has been properly
paused.
- Refined documentation
- Moved a few properties for better logical grouping
- Annotated timeToCall and timeExpected as protected
- Updating documentation for clarity, esp. wrt the now / elapsed /
physicsTime.
- Marked elapsedMS as deprecated as it is just elapsed based on Date.now
instead of the high-res timer; both provide roughly equivalent behavior,
with elapsedMS just falling back to worse-case behavior.
There are no known breaking changes.
- Timer
- Uses standard Math.min/Math.max (it's better 2, 3 items).
- Math
- Updated documentation
- Marked various Math functions as deprecated, proxying as appropriate
- Array-based functions -> ArrayUtils
- RNG-based functions -> Utils
- Updated core-usage
- floor/ceil should not be used (alternatives provided)
- Altered for some equivalencies
- Also fixes some assorted issues
- Marked a few internal functions as private
- Utils
- Moved polyfills to their own file for better visibility
- Moved array functions to ArrayUtils and marked proxies as deprecated
- Created Phaser.ArrayUtils for array-related functions
- polyfills moved to their own file
- Functions given function names
- Added Math.trunc
We have separated the logic and render updates to permit slow motion and time slicing effects. We've fixed time calling to fix physics problems caused by variable time updates (i.e. collisions sometimes missing, objects tunneling, etc)
Once per frame calling for rendering and tweening to keep things as smooth as possible
Calculates a `suggestedFps` value (in multiples of 5 fps) based on a 2 second average of actual elapsed time values in the `Time.update` method. This is recalculated every 2 seconds so it could be used on a level-by-level basis if a game varies dramatically. I.e. if the fps rate consistently drops, you can adjust your game effects accordingly.
Game loop now tries to "catch up" frames if it is falling behind by iterating the logic update. This will help if the logic is occasionally causing things to run too slow, or if the renderer occasionally pushes the combined frame time over the FPS time. It's not a band-aid for a game that floods a low powered device however, so you still need to code accordingly. But it should help capture issues such as gc spikes or temporarily overloaded CPUs.
It now detects 'spiralling' which happens if a lot of frames are pushed out in succession meaning the CPU can never "catch up". It skips frames instead of trying to catch them up in this case. Note: the time value passed to the logic update functions is always constant regardless of these shenanigans.
Signals to the game program if there is a problem which might be fixed by lowering the desiredFps
Time.desiredFps is the new desired frame rate for your game.
Time.suggestedFps is the suggested frame rate for the game based on system load.
Time.slowMotion allows you to push the game into a slow motion mode. The default value is 1.0. 2.0 would be half speed, and so on.
Time.timeCap is no longer used and now deprecated. All timing is now handled by the fixed time-step code we've introduced.
Render update runs every frame.
Tweens moved into render update to maintain smooth motion.
Added Time.slowMotion factor, integrated with logic/render updates and tweens.
Time.time used for Date.now but Time.now may hold RAF hi-res value.
Start of separation of game/render update.
Minor adjustments to Time.update for clarity.
Phaser.Timer.stop has a new parameter: clearEvents (default true), if true all the events in Timer will be cleared, otherwise they will remain (fixes#383)
