timeloop v1.3.3

timeloop.js

timeloop.js tracks the current time, deltaTime and related data. You can query it at any time. This is more appropriate for games, simulations, virtual worlds, visualizations, etc. than using a strictly event oriented system.

You can also subscribe to timing events. For instance, this is useful for creating a simple update loop.
