Provides a simple, reliable interface to read and manage time in Love2D games, enabling accurate delta time, frame rate control, and timing-based logic.
Use the love-timer by calling its functions in your Love2D callbacks. For example, in love.update(dt) read local delta = love.timer.getDelta() and use love.timer.getFPS() to adapt rendering or animations.

To measure delta time in Love2D, call love.timer.getDelta() within your love.update callback to retrieve the precise time elapsed between frames, enabling frame-rate independent movement and consistent game logic pacing.
The best way to monitor FPS in a Love2D game is by calling love.timer.getFPS(), which returns the current frames per second value, allowing you to track rendering performance and identify potential bottlenecks during gameplay.
Yes, you can pause execution in Lua using love.timer.sleep() within your Love2D environment, which halts the current thread for a specified duration to throttle loops or synchronize with external events without consuming CPU cycles.
Love2D provides love.timer.getAverageDelta and love.timer.step for profiling animation pacing, allowing you to measure and update time statistics to analyze frame-rate consistency and optimize performance monitoring in game loops.
To get an absolute time reference in Love2D, use love.timer.getTime(), which returns the total time elapsed since the application started, providing a reliable baseline for calculating elapsed durations and scheduling events.
