Class SimulationTimer

java.lang.Object
  SimulationTimer

public class SimulationTimer
extends java.lang.Object

The SimulationTimer class encapsulates a simple integer timer. You will interact with the SimulationTimer class in two ways:

1. You will query the current time with the getTime() method.
2. You will advance the timer after your simulation has done all of the work for a given timestep by using the tick() method.
