Problem With Motion in NSView
Post: #17
I've been trying this for a while now and I can't figure out how that works exactly. I know that returns the time since Jan 1, 2001 and I could (assuming this is allowed) subtract two of those to get my elapsed time. Is that how it's supposed to be done? Here's what I've been trying (but with no luck):
(edit: I figured out that all I had to do was make them doubles instead of floats and it worked. Thanks for the help. I'm going to leave this here for others.)

Code:
//don't use floats, they don't work
double newTime,lastTime,elapsedTime;
...
- (void)checkKeys
{
newTime = [NSDate timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate];
elapsedTime = newTime - lastTime;
lastTime = newTime;
if(up)
[myCharacter setY:[myCharacter y]+(5 * elapsedTime)];
if(down)
[myCharacter setY:[myCharacter y]-(5 * elapsedTime)];
if(left)
[myCharacter setX:[myCharacter x]-(5 * elapsedTime)];
if(right)
[myCharacter setX:[myCharacter x]+(5 * elapsedTime)];
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
}
