std_time
The std_time module is an implementation of the system time and hardware clock.
glang
fetch std_time;
time_pause(1000) # stops program execution for 1 second
bark("1 second later");
time_now()
Returns "now" as a number in milliseconds; our current moment in space and time. This function specifically calculates the elapsed time since the UNIX epoch (1/1/1970)
glang
fetch std_time;
obj start = time_now();
# ...do some stuff
obj end = time_now()
bark("Elapsed time: " + tonumber(end - start));
time_pause(ms)
Halts program execution for ms long, where ms is in milliseconds.
glang
fetch std_time;
time_pause(2000) # stop for 2 seconds
bark("This is 2 seconds later!");
