Wall Clock Time

WALL CLOCK time is the time experienced by the player and determines the subjective impression of how ``fast'' the game runs. The relative speed of the game is determined by the game parameter $t_{s}$: the ``game speed''. $t_{s}$ is determined to be the number of milliseconds of WALL CLOCK time between each tick of the GLOBAL CLOCK. $t_{s}$ is a game parameter set during INITIALIZATION.
