I want to use float time in a game where I call the update
method passing the delta time as float seconds. It's more easy
to multiply the dt with a speed constant meaning how much the
object will move after 1 second. Such float delta time is used
in many game engines and it's somewhat standart way of doing
it. Also the method you wrote returns a string and I need a
float to multiply it with a number.
Thanks for the reply anyway
Checkout out how DSFML handles this.
You simply pass around a Clock object that you can restart every
frame using
clock.restart();
You then call your update function with
update(Clock.getElapsedTime());
Then in each objects update(Time t) method you just get the time
in whatever unit you want. Works pretty well.
