This is an API specifically designed for the purposes of timing animations. Unlike setInterval, it tries to synchronise with the screen refresh rate. It naturally passes us timing information, saving the need to construct a Date object every frame. It has the nice feature that browsers (at least Firefox 91) will call it less frequently when the puzzle page isn't visible, which saves CPU time in puzzles that run a timer continuously.
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
