UpTime

UpTime Native Extension for the Defold Game Engine

This Defold Native Extension allows receiving a system uptime. This timer resets when user restarts their device!

Possible use cases

• If you want to use a timer for restore lives (or something else) in your game without server but want to have better protection against cheaters who just change system time.
• Seed for math.randomseed() (thanks @dragosha for that use case idea)

Platforms

• iOS
• MacOS
• Android
• Windows

Installation

To use this library in your Defold project, add the needed version URL to your game.project dependencies from Releases

local function update_uptime(self)

  end
