SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinate per-frame updates with the PixiJS v8 render loop to drive animations, physics, and scene changes, ensuring consistent visuals across frame rates.

Core Features & Use Cases

Ticker-driven updates to drive per-frame logic and ensure ordered execution with the render loop.
Delta management with deltaTime, deltaMS, and elapsedMS for frame-rate independent calculations.
Frame-rate control via maxFPS and minFPS, plus UPDATE_PRIORITY-based scheduling for precise timing.
Support for per-object onRender hooks and multiple ticker instances (shared, system, and custom) for isolated workloads.

Quick Start

Set up app.ticker with a callback to update your scene each frame using ticker.deltaTime for frame-rate independent motion.

FAQPage Schema

How do I make PixiJS animations frame-rate independent?▼

You make PixiJS animations frame-rate independent by applying ticker.deltaTime and deltaMS values to scale per-frame movement, ensuring consistent visual speed across different device frame rates.

How do I control the render loop execution order in PixiJS?▼

Control the render loop execution order in PixiJS by assigning UPDATE_PRIORITY values to callbacks, scheduling precise timing for per-frame updates and physics logic before rendering.

Can I cap the frame rate of a WebGL render loop in PixiJS?▼

Yes, you can cap the frame rate of a WebGL render loop in PixiJS by setting the ticker's maxFPS and minFPS properties to limit rendering frequency and optimize overall performance.

Does PixiJS support multiple ticker instances for isolated workloads?▼

Yes, PixiJS supports multiple ticker instances including shared, system, and custom configurations, allowing isolated workloads and independent per-frame logic for different scenes.

What is deltaTime used for in the PixiJS render loop?▼

In the PixiJS render loop, deltaTime normalizes per-frame updates against a target frame rate, enabling deterministic animations and game logic calculations regardless of actual elapsed time.
