I have looked everywhere for an example or tutorial on a delta time game loop in AS3. I found many fixed time step examples but very little helpful information on delta time game loops and how it works. I have seen examples that do the calculations in a timer and also seen examples that do the calculations inside the enter\_frame event. All the examples I have seen are also incomplete and only provided me with bits and pieces. Can someone please explain it to me or better yet show me a simple example? :cry3:
