engine

The running app itself: the clock a frame reads, the command line it was started with, the directory it may write to, and the way out.

7 functions, 0 constants. Scripts reach it as engine::.

Functions

Argument kinds are the script values a call passes: node is a node handle, any a table or value of any kind, fn a callback.

function	acts on	what it does
args()	—	The command-line arguments the app was started with, empty when it was given none.
delta()	—	Seconds the frame in progress covers, the same number a system is handed.
quit()	—	Ask the app to shut down; the frame in flight still finishes.
reload_script(key: string)	—	Recompile one script by its project-relative key, for a tool editing files outside the watched root.
tick()	—	Which frame this is, counted whole — what simulation code branches on instead of time.
time()	—	Seconds of engine time since the app started, accumulated as a float.
user_data_dir()	—	A writable per-user directory for saves and settings, created on first call and named after the project.
