[Bf-gamedev] Time management in the BGE

[Sybren A. Stüvel]

Hey all,

There are a few strange things in the time management of the BGE. The result 
is that with certain combinations of options, the engine runs at 1000+ FPS, 
and doesn't correctly record animations to Blender curves.

In short:

- Enabling fixed-timestep ticks should no longer cause as-fast-as-possible
  rendering;
- timesteps for fixed-timestep ticks should be configurable (now fixed 60 Hz);
- KX_KetsjiEngine has multiple variables for storing time, and they
  seem to contain different values which should still reflect "now"
  in some way. This should be clarified in code & comments, as it makes
  my head hurt (and features like D728 harder to accept).

I want to invite everybody who's interested in this to join the discussion at 
https://developer.blender.org/D1509.


Cheers,
