timing

What problem does it solve?

The engine provides time-aware primitives to drive gameplay logic, including per-frame deltas and pause-aware timing, so cooldowns, timers, and entity lifetimes behave predictably across pause states.

Core Features & Use Cases

• FrameTime and DeltaSeconds-driven timers for cooldowns, spawns, and UI animations.
• Pause and PauseMode handling to freeze or keep specific entities during screen pauses.
• TimeSpan conventions for global time and Delay APIs (DelaySeconds, DelayUntil, DelayFrames) to sequence actions.
• Simulation Clock concepts to implement world ticks at adjustable speeds while remaining deterministic.

Quick Start

In your CustomActivity, drive all time-based logic with time.DeltaSeconds and use Engine.Time.DelaySeconds / DelayUntil for sequencing.
