Class RealtimeDriver

Namespace

DotFly

Assembly

DotFly.Engine.dll

Runs a Simulation on its own thread, keeping neural time in step with the wall clock (times Ratio). The game or UI thread writes input ports and reads output snapshots; it never touches the simulation directly. BehindBy tells the host how far the network lags, so it can degrade honestly (e.g. switch to a smaller checkpoint) instead of pretending.

RealtimeDriver(Simulation, RealtimeOptions?)

Creates a driver; call Start() to begin.

public RealtimeDriver(Simulation sim, RealtimeOptions? options = null)

Parameters

sim Simulation

options RealtimeOptions

Properties

BehindBy

How far neural time (÷ ratio) lags the wall clock right now; zero or negative when caught up.

public TimeSpan BehindBy { get; }

Property Value

TimeSpan

Error

The exception that stopped the driver, if any.

public Exception? Error { get; }

Property Value

Exception

Running

Whether the driver thread is currently advancing (not paused/stopped).

public bool Running { get; }

Property Value

bool

Simulation

The simulation being driven.

public Simulation Simulation { get; }

Property Value

Simulation

StepsLastTick

Steps advanced in the most recent tick.

public long StepsLastTick { get; }

Property Value

long

Methods

Dispose()

Stops the driver thread and waits for it. The simulation is left as is.

public void Dispose()

Pause()

Pauses; neural time stops, wall time keeps going (the deficit is forgiven up to MaxLag).

public void Pause()

Start()

Starts (or resumes) advancing.

public void Start()
