Handling time?
« on: October 18, 2010, 11:03:53 pm »
Hello,

I would like to remember that is impossible to explain my problem without comparing SFML and Allegro.

In Allegro i can set a timeout and a function is called everytime this timeout is reached. Can I do that in SFML?

I mean, when you are building a game, you can't just have a complex full time runtime, controlling execution with "sf::Sleep"...

What is the best way to separate TIME HANDLING from the rest of the game?

I would like to create a timeline of functions to be executed, with ticks (40 each second), how can I do that?

If its not possible, again, what is the best way to control time?

Thank you :)
(I am sorry, it is kinda confusing)

You can use sf::Clock, sf::Sleep and/or sf::Window::SetFramerateLimit
