time

The time namespace provides timing primitives and thread sleeping. No import is required.

Quick Reference

Function	Signature	Return Type	Description
time.sleep	time.sleep(ms)	void	Pauses execution for the specified milliseconds (alias: sleep(ms)).
time.now_ms	time.now_ms()	number	Returns high-precision monotonic clock in milliseconds (alias: clock.ms()).
time.unix_ms	time.unix_ms()	number	Returns current Unix epoch time in milliseconds.

Detailed Methods

time.sleep(ms)

Suspends the running process or thread for ms milliseconds.

print("Starting countdown...");
var i = 3;
while (i > 0) {
    print(str(i) + "...");
    time.sleep(1000);
    i = i - 1;
}
print("Launch!");

time.now_ms()

Returns the high-resolution monotonic time in milliseconds since system boot. Unaffected by system clock changes or daylight saving adjustments:

var start_ms = time.now_ms();

var i = 0;
while (i < 500000) { i = i + 1; }

var duration = time.now_ms() - start_ms;
print("Execution time: " + str(duration) + " ms");
