Is game.time.elapsed always guaranteed to be in milliseconds?

[binarez]

Hi,

 

I'm using game.time.elapsed to update my game entities. They are expecting frame delta time in milliseconds (ms). It seems to work. On all platforms, will elapsed be in milliseconds? Am I using game.time.elapsed correctly?

 

Thanks for the awesome engine.

I am using version 1.1.5 right now.

Ok, I guess no one else is using game.time.elapsed?

 

What are you using to get time per frame? I'm looking to get a value in milliseconds (number) so I can pass that to update my entities. Thanks for any info!

You could use game.time.fps and if you want to know the time per frame it is 1000 / game.time.fps.

I went and did some digging : http://gametest.mobi/phaser/docs/Time.js.html#sunlight-1-line-107

 

So elapsed seems to be the difference between last frame's milliseconds timestamp vs this frame's... exactly what I need.

You can look into the documentation :

 

http://docs.phaser.io/Phaser.Time.html#toc4

 

It is written "Elapsed time since the last frame (in ms)" .So, yes, it will always be in milliseconds
