  2. Timekeeping in games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timekeeping_in_games

    A progress clock is a tabletop role-playing gamemaster (GM) tool for keeping track of ongoing events that cannot be handled within a single turn, such as the player characters' continuous headway toward defeating a challenge, the gradual approach of an enemy, or a time-limited window of opportunity. The GM draws a segmented circle to represent ...

    clock: returns a processor tick count associated with the process timespec_get (C11) returns a calendar time based on a time base Format conversions asctime: converts a struct tm object to a textual representation (deprecated) ctime: converts a time_t value to a textual representation strftime: converts a struct tm object to custom textual ...

  4. System time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_time

    The system clock is typically implemented as a programmable interval timer that periodically interrupts the CPU, which then starts executing a timer interrupt service routine. This routine typically adds one tick to the system clock (a simple counter) and handles other periodic housekeeping tasks ( preemption , etc.) before returning to the ...

    The most famous pastebin is the eponymous pastebin.com. [citation needed] Other sites with the same functionality have appeared, and several open source pastebin scripts are available. Pastebins may allow commenting where readers can post feedback directly on the page. GitHub Gists are a type of pastebin with version control. [citation needed]

  7. Unix time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

    Computer clocks of the era were not sufficiently precisely set to form a precedent one way or the other. The POSIX committee was swayed by arguments against complexity in the library functions, [ citation needed ] and firmly defined the Unix time in a simple manner in terms of the elements of UTC time.

  8. Self-clocking signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-clocking_signal

    If the embedded clock signal is isochronous, it gets sent simultaneously with the data. Below is an example signal, in this case using the Manchester code self-clocking signal. The data and clock cycles can be thought of as "adding up" to a combination, where both the clock cycle and the data can be retrieved from the transmitted signal.

  9. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    There is no universal solution for the Year 2038 problem. For example, in the C language, any change to the definition of the time_t data type would result in code-compatibility problems in any application in which date and time representations are dependent on the nature of the signed 32-bit time_t integer.
