Time.deltaTime
- interval in seconds from the last frame to the current one (duration of 1 frame)
- Can tell us how long each frame took to execute
- When we multiply something by
Time.deltaTime it makes out game “frame rate independent”
- Example: On Update (each frame), move 1 unit to the left
- Slow computer: 10 fps, so duration of 1 frame is 0.1s
- Distance per second: 1 unit * 10 fps * 0.1 deltaTime = 1
- Fast computer: 100 fps, so duration of 1 frame is 0.01s
- Distance per second: 1 unit * 100 fps * 0.01 deltaTime = 1
- So both dps is 1
Time.time
- The amount of time that elapses
