paloYaDikgato

paloYaDikgato

It starts at 0 and goes up by one on every frame. With tshwantsha running about 60 times a second, paloYaDikgato reaches 60 after one second.

It is what you use for things that repeat: paloYaDikgato % 60 gives you the frame’s number within the second, and fa (paloYaDikgato % 30 === 0) happens twice a second.

It does not count time — it counts frames. On a slow computer it rises slowly, which is what nakoYaKgato is for.

Examples
