Using PixiJS Ticker for Stable Game Loops: When to Rely on Delta Time and When to Step Manually
Learn how PixiJS Ticker drives requestAnimationFrame, shares a global loop, and why mixing variable deltaTime with fixed timesteps can keep your game logic deterministic.
pixijsUsing PixiJS Ticker for Frame‑Rate Independent Updates
Learn how PixiJS’ shared Ticker supplies a delta time for frame‑rate independent updates, with a code example, limits, and common pitfalls.
PixiJS Ticker: One Update Loop for Motion That Survives a Frame Drop
PixiJS already runs one requestAnimationFrame loop. Register your update logic on its Ticker, drive motion from elapsed time, and know where delta-time stops being enough.
Restoring a PixiJS scene from serialized JSON without losing child order or animation state
I'm designing a save/restore flow for a PixiJS application where the current scene graph is serialized to JSON, the app is torn down, and the scene is later reconstructed. The goal is a restoration that is visually and behaviorally identical to the saved state, including z-order of children and animation progress. The constraints I'm working under: assets ar
PixiJS Ticker delta time spikes during tab backgrounding
Ticker Timing and Tab Visibility The PixiJS Ticker utilizes requestAnimationFrame to manage the update loop, calculating a delta value to ensure frame-rate independent movement. This mechanism relies on the browser's high-resolution timestamp to maintain synchronization between logic updates and rendering. A specific challenge arises when the browser tab is
PixiJS Ticker vs Page Visibility: Should the Ticker Auto‑Pause?
Integration Boundary: PixiJS Ticker and Page Visibility API Goal: Determine whether PixiJS should automatically pause its internal ticker when the page becomes hidden, to avoid unnecessary GPU and CPU usage while maintaining animation continuity when the tab is restored. Constraints: The ticker currently delegates to requestAnimationFrame , and developers of
