◆ Spin()
|
inline |
Call this function INSIDE the simulation loop, just ONCE per loop (preferably as the last call in the loop), passing it the integration step size used at this step.
If the time elapsed over the last step (i.e., from the last call to Spin) is small than the integration step size, this function will spin in place until real time catches up with the simulation time, thus providing soft real-time capabilities.
