5.3. Realtime Sources

K-3D also provides the RealtimeSource node, which also provides a “time” property as output. Unlike TimeSource, RealtimeSource represents a time value that stores the number of seconds since the Unix epoch, and is always changing. This source could form the basis for a simple game. Note that RealtimeSource also has a “frame rate” property, which controls how often its “time” property is updated.
