Delta Time Accumulator

• 

  Games can be programmed and rendered effectively using time accumulation

Time accumulation is a technique to create dynamic graphical applications that render smoothly over time. I've created example pseudocode below:

// Frame-independent tick cycles for games, simulations, other dynamic UI applications
DT = 0.01;
private void tick() {
    deltaTime = currTime - prevTime;
    dt_accumulator += deltaTime;

    while (dt_accumulator >= DT) {
        update();
        dt_accumulator -= DT;
    }

    render();
}
