Talk:love.timer

Is here some way to get time from 1970 in seconds with milliseconds? Like this:

local starting_time = os.time() -- time in seconds

function love.timer.getTime()
	return starting_time + os.clock () -- time in seconds and time from game start
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.print(love.timer.getTime(), 32,32)
end

socket.gettime() return time in seconds relative to origin of the universe (1 Jan 1970) with microseconds precision

socket = require 'socket'

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.print(('%.4f seconds passed since origin of the universe (1 Jan 1970)'):format(socket.gettime()), 32, 32)
	-- Prints something like: 1614267059.6269 seconds passed since origin of the universe (1 Jan 1970)
	-- string.format is used to fix number of digits after decimal point
end
