Thank you very much! Really helped me with understanding animations

Elaborative vdo, deserves way more than 310 views

haha! Thanks. This video for some reason never clicked with the KZbin algorithm :P

Great tutorial! Learning about delta time is essential for creating consistent game loops and animations.

[@kirupa]

Yes! Glad you liked it 🙃

How can the frame rate be automatic on different devices? I mean the frame rate can vary on different devices. I don't want the frame rate to always be 60.

[@kirupa]

If you want your frame rate to vary on different devices, then you can simply omit all of the code shown here. A call to requestAnimationFrame without any of supporting code is all you need.

@@kirupa Do you mean deltaTime is only needed when the frame rate is known in advance?

[@kirupa]

@@thang8617 Correct. You only need to implement this if you wish to fix the frame rate. For variable frame rate, you can ignore all of this code. The starting state in the video is the final state you will need 😀
