new Time(game)
This is the core internal game clock.
It manages the elapsed time and calculation of elapsed values, used for game object motion and tweens, and also handles the standard Timer pool.
To create a general timed event, use the master Phaser.Timer accessible through events.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
game |
Phaser.Game | A reference to the currently running game. |

Members
-
advancedTiming :boolean
-
If true then advanced profiling, including the fps rate, fps min/max, suggestedFps and msMin/msMax are updated.
- Source - time/Time.js, line 137
-
desiredFps :number
-
The desired frame rate of the game.
This is used is used to calculate the physic/logic multiplier and how to apply catch-up logic updates.
- Default Value:
- 60
- Source - time/Time.js, line 110
-
<internal> 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.
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.

- See:
-
- Phaser.Time.time
-
<internal> 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.

events :Phaser.Timer
-
A Phaser.Timer object bound to the master clock (this Time object) which events can be added to.
- Source - time/Time.js, line 217
-
<readonly> fps :number
-
Advanced timing result: Frames per second.
Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled.
- Source - time/Time.js, line 155
-
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.
- Source - time/Time.js, line 173
-
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.
- Source - time/Time.js, line 164
-
<readonly> frames :integer
-
Advanced timing result: The number of render frames record in the last second.
Only calculated if advancedTiming is enabled.
- Source - time/Time.js, line 146
-
<internal> game :Phaser.Game
-
Local reference to game.
- Internal:

- Source - time/Time.js, line 25
-
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.
- Source - time/Time.js, line 192
-
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.
- Default Value:
- 1000
- Source - time/Time.js, line 183
-
<internal> 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.
- Internal:

- Source - time/Time.js, line 53
-
pauseDuration :number
-
Records how long the game was last paused, in milliseconds. (This is not updated until the game is resumed.)
- Source - time/Time.js, line 199
-
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
.- Source - time/Time.js, line 93
-
physicsElapsedMS :number
-
The physics update delta, in milliseconds - equivalent to
physicsElapsed * 1000
.- Source - time/Time.js, line 100
-
<internal> prevTime :number
-
The
now
when the previous update occurred.- Internal:

- Source - time/Time.js, line 39
-
slowMotion :number
-
Scaling factor to make the game move smoothly in slow motion
- 1.0 = normal speed
- 2.0 = half speed
- Default Value:
- 1
- Source - time/Time.js, line 130
-
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; use it after a few seconds (eg. after the menus)
- Source - time/Time.js, line 121

<internal> time :integer
-
The
Date.now()
value when the time was last updated.- Internal:
