Returns the value of the clock, measured in “ticks”. This value increments by 1 during each iteration of the code, which is 5x per second at normal speed.
clock is a code block part of the Environment drawer.
Usage
clock refers to the value of the clock, measured in “ticks”. This value increments by 1 after each iteration of the code. The speed that the clock increments is determined by the value of the engine speed slider. A slider value of n makes the clock tick n times per second. The clock starts at zero when the program is initiated.
Syntax
[Textbox Insert] clock
Common Uses
Mainly used to simulate the passing of time in simulations, and to prompt certain actions to take place during certain points in time.
