Return Value

 A pointer (reference) to the simulation time (tick). Top of page

Remarks

This function is available through the API. Use it to retrieve a pointer shortcut to the simulation time (tick). Once you have the pointer you can access (read or write) the tick directly through the shortcut without needing any more function calls. Top of page

pParam pTick; //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- void __stdcall onSimCreate(void) { pTick = getTickRef(); } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- bool iterate(pState state, int x, int y, pState *nbr, int nbrCount, int feaMode) // one iteration of the Mandelbrot set { if (feaMode!=feaContinue) return true; tParam r = state[2], i = state[3]; state[2] = state[0] + r*r - i*i; state[3] = state[1] + 2.0*r*i; state[4] = state[2]*state[2] + state[3]*state[3]; if (state[4]>5) state[5] = *pTick; return true; } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- void __stdcall onTick(double &time) { forEachAgent(iterate); } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Top of page
