LESSON SEVEN: A core part of Business Tycoon Simulations such as this one is the timer that determines when a store's income should be added to the current balance. Timers are also very valuable in many game designs so learning how to use them early on in useful.
Timers often rely on time.deltaTime in order to properly calculate time that has passed independent of the framerate. During each call to the update method time.deltaTime will return the amount of time that has passed since the last time the update was executed. So on faster machines time.deltaTime would have lower values than on slower machines.
In this course you will learn how to create an Idle Business Tycoon Game from the ground up that is similar to games such as ADventure Captialist, Web Tycoon, and Cookie Clicker. But more importantly, this course is designed to teach critical game development concepts and design patterns popularized by the Gang of Four.
You can play AdVenture Capitalist on Kongregate to get an idea of the core game play you will learn to create in this course.
