Method Detail

tick

void tick(long currentTime,
          long deltaTime)
          throws UserDeadException

This method is called periodically from the metronome thread. To save computation, it receives both the current time since epoch in milliseconds at the start of the global tick propagation, and the delta time since the previous metronome tick.

Parameters:

currentTime - Time since epoch at the start of the global metronome propagation, as per System.currentTimeMillis()

deltaTime - Delta-time in milliseconds since the prior global metronome tick

Throws:

UserDeadException - if a user has died during this tick
