A fixed-time update is used with a consistent time delay per update call for game logic and physics, ensuring predictable behavior regardless of fluctuations in frame rates. +By performing physics calculations at regular intervals, game logic and physics are decoupled from frame rate, ensuring consistent behavior across different hardware. + +Rendering and animations are handled separately on a per-frame basis. +A delay and delta time calculation are applied to create consitent visual behavior, even when frame rates vary. +This separation between game logic and rendering ensures that both simulation accuracy and visual fluidity are optimized. \subsection{Patterns} |
